Jerusalem Post/Reuters: Kyiv mayor says 'apocalypse' scenario possible this winter, but urges no panic  

Residents should be prepared, but there was presently no need to evacuate as conditions remained stable. 

Kyiv's mayor warned on Wednesday of an "apocalypse" scenario for the Ukrainian capital this winter if Russian air strikes on infrastructure continue but said there was no need for residents to evacuate now, though they should be ready to do so. 

"Kyiv might lose power, water, and heat supply. The apocalypse might happen, like in Hollywood films, when it's not possible to live in homes considering the low temperature," Mayor Vitali Klitschko told Reuters in an interview.

As to the mayor urging everyone not to panic. Sighhh .... if I was stuck in Kyiv right now I would be panicking.
