In Ukraine, the upcoming heating season will start later and end earlier than usual, and the temperature in the rooms will be 4 degrees below the norm. This was stated by the head of Naftogaz Yuriy Vitrenko in an interview with The Guardian.
According to him, the indoor temperature this year will be 17-18 degrees, in connection with which he advised Ukrainians to stock up on blankets and warm clothes in case the temperature outside drops to minus 10 degrees and becomes below the average winter temperature.
“Without [Western] financial support, we will run out of gas, and this will mean that we will have really high risks for the energy system. [Without gas imports] there will be power outages in a large part of Ukraine,” — said Vitrenko.
In addition, he pointed out that without gas imports, there is a risk that some households will not receive enough heat and “it will be really too cold.”
Ukraine produces about 60% the gas it needs domestically and imports the rest from its EU neighbors at market prices. Now Kyiv needs about $10 billion for gas imports. Vitrenko said that, in his opinion, the allies understand this need, but he does not have full confidence that the country will receive the necessary funds.
At the same time, the needs of Ukraine may increase if, during the special operation of Russia, the most important objects of the country's gas infrastructure, power plants or gas production facilities are damaged, the newspaper writes.
