Minsk Residents Face Hot Water Woes: A City-Wide Inconvenience Minsk, Belarus – Residents of Minsk are currently experiencing temporary hot water shutdowns, causing significant disruption to daily life. The issue, affecting numerous neighborhoods, has prompted discussion about the city's infrastructure and the lack of more reliable heating solutions. "It's incredibly inconvenient," says one Minsk resident, "especially with the cooler weather. We're forced to use basins and make do until the water is restored."
