Over 7,000 utility workers receive extra payments – PM Svyrydenko

More than 7,000 housing and utility workers who helped restore energy infrastructure during the winter are receiving an additional UAH 20,000 for February. Similar payments are also planned for March.

Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko announced this on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

She noted that today 44 municipal workers from the city of Kyiv, the Donetsk, Kherson, Chernihiv, Vinnytsia, and Odesa regions were awarded honors.

“These are people who repair networks every day, restore water, heat and gas supply, work at our combined heat and power plants, eliminate the consequences of Russian strikes, and continue to ensure the functioning of cities and villages, including in frontline regions under constant shelling,” Svyrydenko stressed.

The head of government also expressed special thanks to municipal workers from other regions who came to help repair networks and restore infrastructure in Kyiv. Thanks to this support, she emphasized, the capital managed to get through the most difficult winter since the start of the full-scale war.

“Thank you to all utility workers for your dedication and professionalism. Thanks to you, life in our communities continues despite all the challenges,” the Prime Minister said.

As reported, at the end of February, workers of critical infrastructure involved in eliminating the consequences of Russian attacks began receiving UAH 20,000 payments as part of state support.
