In Kyiv, 4,480 apartment buildings have sustained varying degrees of damage over the years of the full-scale war.
This was discussed at a Kyiv City State Administration board meeting, the capital’s mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
Of these, 1,783 buildings were damaged in 2026 — almost 40% of the total.
The damage varies: blown-out windows, damaged balconies, roofs or façades.
In buildings where entrances have been destroyed, structures damaged and utilities affected, flats have become unfit for living. There are currently 205 such buildings; this year the enemy severely damaged 61.
Of the heavily damaged buildings, the city has already repaired and rebuilt 64. In total, 4,227 damaged residential buildings have been restored to date.
“The problem that could halt restoration work is the State Treasury blocking the city’s funds. If the government does not understand this, I stress: such actions are unacceptable in a situation where residents are waiting for their homes to be restored,” Klitschko said.
According to the mayor, the city has once again appealed to the government and the State Treasury, demanding that funding for projects important to Kyiv residents be unblocked — including the restoration of buildings damaged by the enemy.
- In mid-September it became known that the government had suspended funding for all capital expenditure due to a lack of money in the budget. This was not announced publicly, so the news was brought to the public’s attention by major contractors, who said they were forced to stop work on budget-funded projects.
