Occupied Dzhankoy is on the brink of a public utilities crisis due to the heat
Northern Crimea has been hit by an August heatwave, with temperatures exceeding +36 °C in the shade. In Dzhankoy itself, water flows from the taps for only three hours a day, and in the surrounding villages, there is no water supply at all.
Aid to local residents in the form of drinking water, food, medicine, and hygiene supplies is provided exclusively by volunteers, as the occupying administration has not provided a single water tanker.
The electricity situation in the Dzhankoy district remains critical: power is supplied for only two hours a day at a voltage of 115–130 volts, causing widespread failure of household appliances. In addition, residents fear an outbreak of infectious diseases due to the terrible stench coming from the local river, into which untreated sewage is likely being discharged. Amid the utilities crisis, the head of the occupying district administration, Inna Fedorenko, stated that she is undergoing medical treatment, limiting herself to a formal appeal for patience.

Authorities in Tyumen have threatened to cut off water to residents who complain about the smell of feces.
In the temporarily occupied Crimea, power supply problems have worsened due to attacks on energy infrastructure. In some areas of the peninsula, power outages last for extended periods, forcing local residents to seek out generators and other alternative power sources.
