The central government didn’t approve the resilience plan for six months, and now proposes “corridor-offices” to help Kyiv, - Klitschko

This was stated by Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko at the weekly briefing.

“Someone today is talking about some ‘cabinet-corridors’ to help Kyiv. This after almost half a year of cynically not approving the Capital’s resilience Plan! And spreading various ‘legends.’ I should note: since spring we have had an energy squad for city life support. The capital has involved experts, energy specialists, practitioners, and scientists. The squad worked out possible measures for different scenario of the situation. But when several missiles or drones fly in at once, no protective structures will cope with that,” said Vitali Klitschko.

The mayor noted that without a reliable air defense system it is impossible to guarantee stable operation of critical facilities and uninterrupted provision of utilities in Kyiv.

“I will repeat the main point that all experts say. With such intensity of enemy attacks, without protection of key facilities by air defense systems — restoration, stable operation, and even the existence of these facilities are in serious question!” Klitschko warned.

Earlier, volunteer Serhii Sternenko reported that one of the main reasons for major power outages in the capital is the poor protection of critical infrastructure in Kyiv region. He also spoke of possible violations during the construction of protective structures at electrical substations in the region.
