Direct speech. “This heating season will, without exaggeration, be the most difficult in the history of independent Ukraine. The main risk is russian terrorist attacks against Ukrainian critical infrastructure. Therefore, the government allocates UAH 1.409 billion to purchase strategic material reserves, which will allow us to quickly respond to challenges and problems in heat and water supply. We are talking about equipment with simple and quick deployment and maintenance.
In parallel with the purchases, the government continues to repair critical infrastructure and other preparations for the heating season. The state of readiness for the heating season is now 75%. We are doing our best to ensure that all Ukrainians will have heat and light this winter,” the Prime Minister wrote.
