Why are Kyiv residents still without heating?
I hope that Kyiv residents understand that they are largely without heat not only because of damage to the thermal power plant, which makes it impossible to heat the coolant in the boiler.
In fact, the power engineers are repairing the damage quite quickly, but they simply cannot deliver the heat transfer fluid to your homes due to the terrible and catastrophic state of the heating networks.
Under the pressure required to push the heat transfer fluid through, say, the Pechersky and Holosiivsky districts, the networks begin to rupture, causing a "chain reaction".
This was confirmed to me by repair crews from other cities, who were frankly surprised.
"Who would kill us for such networks," said the foreman from Mykolaiv, word for word.
Let me remind you that I have been talking openly for many years about the appalling "record" 27 per cent heat loss in the KTE networks.
It is clear that such losses, firstly, indicate their terrible condition and, secondly, affect tariffs and the budget, for which we then pay.
It is clear that in such conditions it is very difficult to defend central heating.
This is a clear consequence of many years of completely misguided budget spending priorities by the Kyiv City State Administration and the Kyiv City Council.
I myself became a hostage to this situation in my home in Pechersk.
I literally tracked hour by hour how the heat carrier moved to the house from TPP-5 through dozens of breaks for weeks.
I do not think that the agenda of the Munich Security Forum included the issue of the deplorable state of Kyiv's heating networks.
