In the Lviv region, according to the president, there are issues concerning several energy facilities.
He stressed the need to clearly define responsibility for carrying out state tasks between local authorities and government structures.

They provide for the restoration of critical infrastructure and guarantee a stable supply of heat and electricity to the population in winter.
