Mayor of Dnipro (ex. On October 12, Borys Filatov called on local authorities and the government of Ukraine to postpone the start of the heating season due to the complicated situation due to the "problematic current situation."

"Understanding the depth of the current situation (in order not to write the dreaded word "catastrophic"), we need to unite. <...> The heating season should begin as late as possible," he wrote on his Telegram channel.

According to the Yandex Weather service, the air temperature in Dnipro at 15:20 Moscow time is +12 degrees. According to the rules referred to by Filatov, boilers are started when the average daily temperature does not exceed +8 degrees for three days. However, the mayor of Dnipro stressed that in the current circumstances, this decision can only worsen the situation.

"Demonstrative "concern" for the warmest batteries of the residents of your cities will only worsen the situation in the end. For them and for everyone," he said.

Filatov pointed out that heating needs to be supplied simultaneously and centrally throughout Ukraine. He also called for closer coordination between regional authorities, the government, Naftogaz, Ukrenergo and private suppliers.

The day before, the head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Energy and Housing and Communal Services, Alexei Kucherenko, said that Ukraine was trying to delay the start of the heating season as much as possible due to the acute shortage of gas in the country. It was clarified that the postponement of the start of the heating season is considered as a necessary measure to save limited gas reserves. According to the commander-in-chief, the later the central heating system is launched, the less gas will be consumed in winter.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
