Government may allow for suspension of heating payments if services cannot be quickly restored following strikes, - Koretskyi
Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyi announced that the government is considering the possibility of waiving heating charges in the event of prolonged disruptions caused by Russian shelling.
He said this during Question Time with the government in the Verkhovna Rada, according to Censor.NET.

"87% of all service stations and district heating plants are operational. Where they are not operating, it is solely a deliberate decision—either to avoid drawing the enemy's attention or because repair work is being completed. There is a specific explanation for each individual case," Koretsky noted.
According to the prime minister, the system is currently "being refilled," and absolutely everyone will have heat.
Heating Bills
The head of government suggested that, under certain conditions, heating bills might not be charged.
"This is one of the backup options—if there really is damage and we are unable to repair it quickly, then we may resort to such measures. But it is far too early to talk about that right now," the prime minister added.
