(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, Svyrydenko reported this on Telegram.

“More than 55 percent of social facilities, including kindergartens, hospitals, and schools, have already been connected to heating. In 13 regions, heating is also being partially supplied to residential buildings. Other regions will continue connecting facilities gradually, depending on weather conditions. Local authorities make the decision to begin heating based on temperature levels,” Svyrydenko stated.

She noted that Russia continues systematic and deliberate attacks on Ukraine's energy and heating infrastructure. Nevertheless, the technical readiness of utilities and the coordinated work of relevant government agencies make it possible to launch the heating season.

Svyrydenko emphasized that more than 17,500 boiler houses and 17,000 kilometers of heating networks are ready for operation. Over 340 kilometers of heating pipelines have been replaced, repairs have been carried out, and reserves of coal, pellets, liquid fuel, and firewood have been accumulated.

“The government's priority is to ensure uninterrupted access to essential services. Everything is being done to keep Ukrainian homes warm and with power. I thank energy workers for their daily efforts and all responsible services for maintaining network operations,” Svyrydenko stressed.

As reported, Ukraine's Naftogaz Group has accumulated 13.2 billion cubic meters of natural gas in storage and plans to increase imports due to Russian attacks on gas production.
