"For some time now, we have been aware that the Burshtyn TPP cannot be rebuilt; it is extremely damaged," Onyshchuk said.

The official added that due to the destruction of the power plant, the city of Burshtyn may be left without heat and hot water in the winter. The city has already agreed to allocate six boiler houses for social facilities and the population.
