Kyiv failed to defend its winter preparedness plan: the government has given it until April to revise it
Kyiv failed for the second time to defend its resilience plan for the heating season, so the government has granted the city additional time to finalize it.
This was announced by Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.
The capital presented the document at a meeting of the Coordination Center, but it requires further refinement. Currently, Kyiv remains the only region whose plan has yet to be approved by the National Security and Defense Council.
The project provides for the protection of 57 critical infrastructure facilities and the installation of over 200 MW of additional generation capacity to ensure the operation of heating and water supply systems.
At the same time, the key area—the development of distributed heat supply—requires further refinement. This part of the plan is to be finalized by early April 2026.
The plan’s total budget is 61.6 billion UAH. Of this amount, 10.6 billion UAH is to be provided by the city, while an additional 51 billion UAH must be raised.
The government noted that it is ready to assist the capital in finalizing the document and to support its implementation once approved.
As a reminder, utility workers restored heating to 1,100 buildings in a single day.
Klitschko also reported how many buildings in Kyiv are still without heat.
