'We are often asked why the figures in the gas bills, which are in the tariff, are and what they include, and why they differ so much in different regions? And the main question is why gas companies determine how much we, ordinary citizens, need to pay?' - emphasize the authors of 'GasTruth'.
At the moment, experts assure that tariffs for the population will not increase. However, after the moratorium is lifted, new, higher figures in the bills may still appear. Therefore, citizens have the opportunity to prepare for this moment, as influencing the tariffs will require time and attention.
Ukrainians are beginning to express outrage at the size of their gas payments and are asking questions about tariffs and their formation process.

It is important to understand how this process works and what possible consequences citizens should expect.
