Expert: Ukrenergo has not repaired facilities since April in anticipation of a truce

The operator Ukrenergo since April has not been in a hurry to repair energy facilities and prepare them for new attacks, because it was confident that an energy truce would be established.

This was reported on the YouTube channel “Superposition” by energy expert Yuri Korolchuk.

According to him, this position was handed down to the energy workers from above, from the most important offices.

“This is, rather, you know, a kind of self-assurance that, for example, everyone is waiting for talks to happen tomorrow and for something to be decided tomorrow, that there will be an energy truce. And so they have been sitting and waiting since April, really. I know that Ukrenergo had a clear position, handed down from above: we are working, but in a calm mode, because the president said that before winter it would probably be possible to reach a truce,” Korolchuk said.

Separately, on the YouTube channel “Fabrika Novin,” an officer of the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces assault troops, Denys Yaroslavsky, spoke out. He predicted that Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa will become unfit for life after winter if it is not possible to agree on a ceasefire.

“If we do not agree on a ceasefire this winter, the Russians with their terror will make large cities such as Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa unfit for life. And no matter who says that I am sowing panic, I once spoke about the bridges,” Yaroslavsky stated.

Earlier, Korolchuk asserted that in the multi-story buildings of the capital it will be no more than +15 degrees Celsius if the coming winter turns out to be as frosty as last year’s.

People’s Deputy from “Servant of the People” Volodymyr Kreidenko suggested that as a result of air strikes on the bridges, Kyiv could split into two parts if the city authorities do not prepare alternative traffic routes.
