Ukraine sets up more than 4,000 emergency shelters amid blackouts

KYIV/MOSCOW - More than 4,000 emergency shelters called "Points of Invincibility" have been set up in Ukraine amid blackouts after Russia's recent missile attacks on energy infrastructure, said Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

The "Points of Invincibility" provide people with heat, water, lighting, mobile communication, Internet, power for mobile devices, places for rest, first aid kits, and basic supplies for mothers and children. Each emergency shelter can accommodate 40 to 500 people without a limit on the time of stay.

In Kyiv alone, a total of 430 emergency shelters have been set up, according to its mayor, Vitaly Klitschko.
