According to the " New York Times " report on November 22, due to Russia's attack on infrastructure in various parts of Ukraine, many Ukrainian cities including Khlsong and Nikolayev , the Ukrainian government has begun to help residents evacuate from cities that lack infrastructure and move to other areas with relatively intact power systems. Ukrainian President Zelensky also called on residents to control energy consumption on November 21. "The cold weather is deadly, and the upcoming winter will be about survival," said Hans Kluge, director of the World Health Organization's regional office in Europe. Kluge added that according to the World Health Organization, more than 10 million Ukrainians are currently out of power, half of Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, and 2 million to 3 million Ukrainians will leave their homes this winter to "find warmth and security."
