Kyiv City Administration: hot water will be switched off to save gas

The number of buildings disconnected from the hot water supply will grow, said Dmytro Novytskyi, director of the Public Utility Infrastructure Department of the KMDA.

Dmytro Novytskyi,  director of the Public Utility Infrastructure Department of the KMD [Kyiv City State Administration], stated that hot water would be switched off in Kyiv in order to safely survive the heating season, reports the KMDA press service.

The official noted that the number of houses which will be disconnected from the hot water supply will grow.

“The gas reserves which the state now has are clearly defined and distributed among the regions. In particular, Kyiv has been given 1.2 billion cubic meters to be used on central heating alone,” said he.

According to Novytskyi, this is insufficient to maintain a comfortable water temperature.

In light of the government’s decision to limit gas supplies, all residents of the capital might be left without hot water.

On July 23 the Verkhovna Rada [Ukrainian Parliament] supported the creation of a temporary investigative committee of the Verkhovna Rada to oversee the implementation of legislation regarding state regulation of natural resource monopolies and joint markets for energy, gas, heat, and water supplies.

Starting July 1, tariffs on public heat and water supplies grew 1.6 times, on average. Starting June 1, new tariffs on public electricity went into effect. According to government order #149, they grew 30%.  Starting May 1, gas tariffs grew 40%.  Low-income families in Kyiv can expect a 100 UAH subsidy toward paying for public utility services.

    March 22: Russia tries to pressure all countries that want to participate in a common missile defense system project

    March 22 – The West needs a new transatlantic strategy in response to the challenges posed by Russia, – said the President of Poland Bronislaw Komorowski, speaking at a forum in Brussels (reports PAP). "The West remained delusional for too long, believing that Russia will choose modernization because it is in its interest to do so", – said Komorowski. "We need a strategy that would unite the West in view of new challenges, in order to adhere to core values and interests of Euro-Atlantic community; a strategy, which would unite the efforts put in by the key institutions, both in the EU and NATO", – emphasized Komorowski.

    March 22 – Viktor Yanukovych Jr., younger son of former President of Ukraine, has died in Russia. A Volkswagen he was driving with 5 passengers on board fell through the ice on Lake Baikal.

    March 22 – Russia tries to pressure all countries that want to participate in a common missile defense system project, said Philip Breedlove, Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO Allied Command Operations (reports Reuters) when commenting on a statement made previously by the Ambassador of Russia in Denmark Mikhail Vanin about Denmark being a target of a possible Russian nuclear attack if it joins NATO missile defense system. "Romania has come under a lot of pressure when it became a part of the shield. Poland is under great pressure, and now everyone who still wants to join this defense project will be under diplomatic and political pressure", – said Breedlove.

    March 22 – In St. Petersburg (Russia) a Russian International Conservative Forum was held with the participation of ultra-right parties of the whole Europe. The organizer was the Russian Conservative Party "Rodyna". Its leader is a member of the fraction of the pro-Putin Party of United Russia in the State Duma of the Russian Federation. As the site of the organization informs, the main goal of the Forum is the creation of a plan of action and a general coordinating committee of all nationalist forces in Russia and Ukraine.

    Near the hotel where the Forum was held, there was a protest meeting against this gathering of neo-fascists; people banged their drums and called out anti-fascist slogans. However, the Russian police apprehended eight demonstrators who were demonstrating against the holding of the Forum, and not against the neo-fascists.

    In Petersburg there are also the so-called "individual" protests against the holding of this Forum.

    An "individual" picket is when one person by her/his self has a poster with a protest – in Russia this is the only form of protest which does not require previous governmental approval.
