Quote: "As for the heating season, it's almost a disaster. 95% of heating in Melitopol is gas. There has been no gas in the city for three weeks. We understand: there will be no gas until part of Zaporizhzhia Oblast is liberated.
Most likely, the city of Melitopol will be without gas (during the heating season – ed.), because it takes time to repair and restore these systems."
Details: Fedorov noted that Russian media has announced the construction of a new gas pipeline, but it is not clear how they plan to complete it in a month and return gas to the citizens of Melitopol before the start of the heating season.
Background:
- Oleksandr Starukh, Head of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast Military Administration, has said that the residents of the oblast should prepare for a tough winter. In particular, he has advised them to stock up on firewood and fuel briquettes.
- Vadym Boichenko, the mayor of Mariupol, reported that the occupiers won’t be able to start the heating season in the city because the gas supply system doesn’t work.
