Our source in the OP said that the Office of the President was unable to launch a program to prepare the country for the heating season due to the lack of mechanisms in the Cabinet of Ministers to provide heat and electricity to cities. Currently, the authorities do not understand how Ukraine will pass the heating season, and responsible officials openly declare that large cities will freeze and turn into icy graveyards.
Energy supply and additional electricity generation will be the main challenges this winter. "Naftogaz of Ukraine" is ready to help Ukrainians to get through the upcoming heating season of 2024-2025, the chairman of the board of the company, Oleksiy Chernyshov, emphasized.
"A very big challenge this winter is energy supply, the generation of additional volumes of electricity, and in this regard we should count on the additional volume to be generated at the expense of natural gas," he said.
The head of "Naftogaz" reported on the positive results of the company's work in the first half of the year and provided guarantees to ensure all additional needs for the winter period
"I want to report that, according to the results of the first half of the year, we exceeded gas production, this gives us the opportunity to look optimistically into the winter, which we expect. I also guarantee that "Naftogaz" will provide all the additional needs that will be needed to get through this winter, including additional generation and additional equipment that will require these volumes of gas," said Chernyshov.
