The Ukrainian experience in preparing for potential crisis situations in wartime conditions can be useful for other states as well. In particular, Ukraine’s resilience plans attracted the attention of Inga Štani?tė-Tolochke?ne, the Lithuanian ambassador to Ukraine. This was revealed in an interview with Glavkom by Konstantin Kovalyuk, deputy minister of development of communities and territories.
According to the official, during a conversation with the Lithuanian diplomat they discussed specific measures provided for in Ukrainian resilience plans. Kovalyuk suggested that Lithuania is already preparing for possible challenges from Russia and may adopt Ukrainian experience in its own plans.
“It is not ruled out that soon we will hear that Ukraine is exporting a resilience plan product to other countries,” the deputy minister noted.
At the same time, Kovalyuk stressed that resilience plans cannot replace ordinary infrastructure preparation for the autumn-winter period. This concerns, in particular, repairs of heating networks, replacement of boilers, and other works that affect the stability of heat and water supply systems.
“If there is no planned preparation and the system stops functioning due to accidents, then no resilience plan will save it,” he explained.
According to Kovalyuk, after the experience of winter 2026 in Ukraine, an additional system of measures began to be formed to strengthen the readiness of territories for possible attacks and blackouts. As a result, four main directions were identified.
First – engineering protection of critical infrastructure facilities. This refers to more advanced solutions for protecting such facilities from attacks, since simple fortifications like gabions no longer meet the current level of threats.
Second direction – development of distributed electricity generation. The idea is that in the event of a large-scale power outage, the region could supply critical facilities with the necessary amount of electricity through its own generation.
Third – backup power sources for heating and water supply systems. As an example, Kovalyuk cited diesel generators that can ensure the operation of pumping stations in case of power outage.
Fourth – reserving distributed thermal generation. Instead of reliance on large combined heat and power plants or boiler houses, it is proposed to create a network of smaller facilities. This should help reduce risks if one of the key facilities is damaged.
Kovalyuk also noted that the concept of “resilience plans” has already been formalized at the government level by the Cabinet of Ministers in Resolution №393 from 20 of March 2026 year. At the same time, the list of directions is not definitive: plans may include measures related to communication, shelters, logistics, and other areas.
Recall that 5 in August, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, held a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council regarding the implementation of defined resilience plans for regions and communities.
By the way, during the meeting of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko noted that the immediate task for the capital before the start of the heating season is the restoration of damaged energy facilities. At present, the work plan is completed by 65%.
