To date, the state of readiness for the heating season is already more than 80%, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said.
“The heating season will begin in Ukraine soon. The most difficult in history. Preparations for it went on in the summer, and continue now. The state of readiness is already more than 80%. Significant coal resources have been accumulated, gas is being pumped into storage facilities,” he said at a government meeting in Friday.
According to Shmyhal, the authorities are forming agreements with partners on additional gas supplies. UAH 1.4 billion was allocated to prepare for emergency situations, almost 1.5 thousand mobile generators and dozens of backup boilers were purchased.
“An operational headquarters has been formed that will quickly resolve any crisis issues. First of all, the issue of eliminating the consequences of Russian attacks on our critical infrastructure. We have been preparing and are preparing for all scenarios. And we will do our best to ensure that this winter Ukrainians are warm, light and water,” Shmygal summed up.
