According to forecasts, the coming winter will not be easier than the last one. Russia has escalated attacks on civilian infrastructure. This was stated during an educational conference "Augusta 2026" by Ukraine's Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky.
Koretsky noted that as part of preparations for the new academic year, Ukraine continues to build shelter facilities for students. Also, for the first time, 1 billion hryvnias were directed toward arranging shelters in kindergartens. Ukraine is also continuing to build underground schools. 2025 year they built 96 such facilities. It is expected that by the end of the year there will be about 200 such schools operating in Ukraine. As the prime minister noted, educational institutions are also being prepared for possible Russian strikes on energy infrastructure. “We all endured last winter steadfastly, confidently, and united. This winter is not expected to be easier because the intensity of strikes on the enemy’s infrastructure has increased severalfold,” he stressed.
Therefore, the implementation of resilience plans continues. Regions and state-owned enterprises are taking measures to maximize preparedness for the heating season. The head of the Cabinet added that about 19,5 thousand kindergartens and schools already have generators, solar panels, and energy storage systems. Another 220 educational institutions this year will receive additional equipment to operate during prolonged power outages. According to Koretsky, air raid alerts, shelling, and power outages should not prevent children from continuing their education. By the way, previously the deputy head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Vadym Skybytskyi said in an interview with RBC-Ukraine that in autumn and winter Russian occupiers will attack Ukraine’s energy sector.
