There will be a collapse and blackout in the regions this winter: the Cabinet suspended payments to local communities for energy protection, winter preparations, repair of damage, and restoration of destroyed housing, — advisor to the head of the Association of Ukrainian Cities Oksana Prodan
What this means:
📍Slower strengthening of energy protection — fewer funds for shelters, backup power, and protection of critical facilities.
📍Preparation for the heating season may slow down — repairs of boiler houses, heating networks, water supply, and purchase of backup equipment.
📍Restoration of housing damaged by Russian attacks will be delayed.
📍Consequences of shelling will be addressed more slowly and critical infrastructure will be repaired more slowly.
📍Risks of disruptions to heat, water, and electricity increase in the event of new large-scale attacks this winter.
📍The greatest burden may fall on local budgets, which will have to seek other sources of funding.
