⚡️💸Hidden blackmail of the government? From ₴15 billion in debt to winter and water for a million people: Shkil raises the stakes in a funding dispute
🏗⚡️An interesting detail: explaining ₴15 billion of debt to Avtostrada, Maksym Shkil, in a media comment, took the issue beyond calculations with the contractor: among unpaid works he named energy protection, frontline roads, and a water pipeline for over 1 million people, and he linked the halt of payments to risks in preparation for winter.
🎯🚨After announcing the scaling back of works, he directly appealed to the prime minister and expressed hope that funding would be restored “at least for key projects.” The logic is simple: debt → contractor stops → risks to critical infrastructure → pressure on the government to prioritize payments. At the same time, Shkil talks about stopping capital expenditures “across the whole country,” while the chair of the parliament’s Budget Committee, Roksolana Pidlas, reported only about postponing to December a portion of September–November expenditures — about ₴39 billion, not a complete halt of all capital expenditures.
