PM Svyrydenko meets Klitschko to discuss Kyiv’s winter preparations
Government officials discussed the capital’s preparations for the upcoming heating season with Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko and pledged continued support for measures aimed at implementing the capital’s resilience plan.
Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko announced this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.
“The government is helping Kyiv prepare for the coming winter and ensure an uninterrupted heat supply. We are working in close coordination with city authorities. We have coordinated our efforts as part of the implementation of resilience plans,” the statement reads.
According to the Prime Minister, the government, for its part, has already allocated 987 million hryvnias for priority measures and is ready to continue providing full support. At the same time, it expects the city to make timely decisions and organize work at facilities designated as the responsibility of local authorities. The work must be completed on time and in full.
Due to significant damage to the thermal power plant, the city must now prepare the infrastructure to ensure a stable supply of heat and light to residents, even under shelling. The key task is to meet the needs of all districts with alternative energy sources and protect critical facilities. Part of this work will be carried out by the Recovery Agency, and part by the capital using its own resources.
As reported by Ukrinform, the Kyiv City Council approved a plan for the capital’s energy resilience on March 10. Kyiv needs 61.6 billion hryvnias to implement it.
