Residents of Belgorod, Russia, are resorting to using gas stoves and ovens to heat their homes amid abnormally cold weather and a lack of central heating. In some apartments, temperatures have dropped to as low as +4 degrees Celsius, prompting neighbors to organize welfare checks on the elderly to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. The heating season officially ended on April 3, and authorities initially refused to restart it, citing the need to repair energy infrastructure damaged by shelling. While heat has since been restored to some kindergartens, many residential buildings remain without proper heating, creating a dangerous situation.
