Energy collapse in Ukraine: Thousands of apartment blocks, hundreds of schools, nurseries and hospitals left without heating

Read it in Russian

A large-scale disconnection of flats from central heating and hot water has started in Ukraine. In particular, as a REGNUM correspondent reports, company Lvovgaz  cut off gas supplies from the Power Plant-1, because the city administration failed to deliver payments, which resulted in half of city buildings being left without heating, including 924 apartment blocks, 42 schools, 26 nurseries and 11 health facilities.

The situation is also poor in Kiev. Kyivenergo Co. has stopped hot-water supply because of the limited gas-supply. Buildings in the area in charge of the Power Plant-5 and the Power Plant-6 are left without hot water; that in general is about five thousand of apartment blocks, nearly 500 schools and nurseries and 200 hospitals.
