The former government official joined the work on Kyiv's resilience plan and the backup power program for multi-story buildings
Former Deputy Prime Minister for Recovery Oleksandr Kubrakov, after leaving the government, joined the work on the capital's resilience issues. In particular, he took part in preparing the relevant decisions for Kyiv. This is what Konstantin Kovalchuk, Deputy Minister of Development of Communities and Territories, told in an interview with Hlavkom.
Kubrakov, who is currently an informal adviser on infrastructure and community interaction, actively participated in shaping the capital's resilience plan. Kovalchuk confirmed his involvement in this work and noted that he personally saw the former deputy prime minister at joint meetings.
“As for Mr. Oleksandr, he did indeed participate in working on resilience issues. He was very active. I saw him at joint meetings several times,” the deputy minister said.
According to Kovalchuk, Kubrakov, together with Kyiv, also initiated a program to install independent backup power systems in apartment buildings and HOA properties. The program involves large generators intended to ensure buildings receive electricity in case of problems with the main power supply.
To implement this initiative, the government approved a corresponding resolution in March, which provides for launching an experimental project. In general, Kyiv's resilience plan envisages a set of measures to prepare the capital for possible Russian attacks on critical infrastructure and to get through the upcoming heating season.
The updated NSDC document was approved in August 5. Among the key directions are engineering protection of critical infrastructure, development of distributed generation, and the creation of backup electric and heat supply systems. In particular, by the end of 2026 year Kyiv is to put into operation 200 MW of distributed electricity generation.
At the same time, according to Kovalchuk, there remains a risk zone in the capital covering more than two thousand apartment buildings: a technical solution for additional distributed thermal generation is still being developed for it.
As a reminder, in May 2024 the Verkhovna Rada dismissed Oleksandr Kubrakov from the post of Deputy Prime Minister for Recovery of Ukraine — Minister for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development. The corresponding decision was voted for by 272 lawmakers.
Before his dismissal, Kubrakov faced a number of accusations and charges. In particular, he was accused of insufficient protection of the Trypillya Power Plant, destroyed as a result of a Russian attack, although that issue was not within his competence. At the same time, it was believed that the reasons for the minister's resignation, who had long been one of the president's favorites, could be connected with the Office of the President.
In July 2025, the State Bureau of Investigation conducted searches at Kubrakov. The searches were part of a criminal case into alleged fraud by MP Yevheniy Shevchenko. After the searches, the former official publicly commented on the actions of law enforcement.
In 2026, President Volodymyr Zelensky unexpectedly met with Kubrakov. During the meeting, they discussed the emergency situation in the energy sector of Ukrainian cities and communities, cooperation with international partners to strengthen resilience, and issues of infrastructure development in Ukraine.
