The heating situation in Kyiv
Critical damages to the heating system in Kyiv have led to several hundred apartment buildings being left without heat due to inadequate preparation for frost. Energy expert Oleg Popenko reported that the main reason for the damage was that water had not been drained from the pipes during the frost.
As a result, the temperature in apartments dropped to +7.5 degrees, causing discomfort for residents. Oleg Popenko noted that restoring such buildings will only be possible after a complete capital renovation. He also added that restoration work may begin as soon as the warm weather returns in a few months.
Residents' concerns
The situation in Kyiv has raised concerns among residents who hope for a quick resolution to the heating problem. At the same time, utility workers noted that they had a legitimate day off, which could complicate the process of restoring the heating system.
