The Ukrainian Emergencies Ministry has opened 210 heating tents in Ukraine because of low temperatures, the ministry's press service reported on Monday.
“Ukraine’s Emergencies Ministry is doing its best to quickly provide assistance to citizens amid a sharp decrease in air temperatures and heavy snow,” the press service quoted Deputy Director of the Department for the Management of Rescue Forces Mykola Chechotkin as saying.
He noted that such tents were set up with temperatures lower than minus 15 degrees Celsius, but this year they were set up at minus 10 degrees Celsius.
According to the report, ten heating tents have opened in Kyiv – in every district of the city. These are mobile tents where people can warm up, drink a cup of tea, relax, and get the necessary first aid.
Over 1,000 people have visited such tents in the last 24 hours.
