In brief
Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi attributed remaining heating delays to repairs and security concerns. He described waiving heating charges after damage as a possible fallback measure.
Ukraine has brought 87% of its heat supply points and district heating enterprises into operation, Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi said during questions to the government in parliament, according to RBC-Ukraine. The figure refers to those facilities and enterprises, rather than the share of households receiving heat.
Koretskyi said regions had delayed the heating season until temperatures reached the thresholds requiring it to begin. Remaining delays reflected either final repairs or security considerations aimed at avoiding the enemy's attention, he said.
The system was still being filled, Koretskyi said, assuring consumers that everyone would receive heating. RBC-Ukraine's report did not specify a deadline for completing connections.
He also said waiving heating charges could be a fallback if attacks caused damage and services could not be restored quickly. He stressed that it was too early to discuss such measures; the report did not announce a decision to introduce them.
