The head of the State Agency for Restoration and Infrastructure Development, Serhiy Sukhomlyn, confirmed the low level of implementation by the capital authorities of the resilience plan for preparing for the new heating season. The high-ranking official said this in an interview with Hlavkom.
In particular, Mr. Sukhomlin agreed with Kyiv City Council member Maksym Nefoyodov, who stated that the capital had implemented only 6% of the measures provided for in the resilience plan.
“I think 6% is a fair assessment. At the same time, Kyiv is trying and doing a lot to rectify the situation. The issue is that other megacities have been dealing with this problem for all four years of the war. Kyiv has only in the last year systematically begun work,” Sukhomlyn noted.
The head of the Restoration Agency stressed that at the central level there is close communication with Kyiv authorities regarding the construction of protection, and the decentralization of the heating system in the area of the TPP-4, among other things. (Last winter, the Darnytsia cogeneration plant (TPP-4), which supplied heat to about 500 thousand people on the Left Bank, was completely destroyed as a result of Russian missile strikes — Hlavkom.) However, at the lower level (leaders of municipal enterprises, heads of KMDA departments), there is a situation where officials sometimes do not want to take responsibility and implement projects because there is a risk of triggering new criminal cases. Moreover, the Restoration Agency is also under close police scrutiny.
“I am convinced: the city authorities need to take responsibility. Because on the scales: a criminal case or heat in Kyiv. Agree: ordinary Kyiv residents are not interested in the criminal case of the department head. They need Kyiv to have heat,” Serhiy Sukhomlyn said.
The official noted that today the city authorities, with their own efforts, are constructing protection for half of the energy facilities in Kyiv. The rest of the work is being carried out by the Restoration Agency.
“During discussions with local authorities, the Restoration Agency proposed a decentralized heating system in the area of the TPP-4. They did not believe us. Then we carried out hydraulic calculations and prepared a techno-economic justification for all facilities in the TPP-4 area. And today construction of protection facilities has already begun, which we plan to complete by the end of the year. On its part, Kyiv authorities should do the same for the TPP-5 and TPP-6. Besides, the state is ready to provide additional funding,” added the head of the Restoration Agency.
As Hlavkom reported, on the night of 1 August, during a massive Russian attack on Kyiv, the building of the Lithuanian embassy sustained minor damage. At the same time, none of the staff were injured.
In addition, the occupiers twice struck the territory of the municipal organization Kyivmedspetstrans. As a result of the shelling, four buildings of the enterprise were partially destroyed, and a number of other premises were damaged.
