JW learned about Kiev's supply of electricity to the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the expense of civilians

Kiev directs to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) two thirds of all electricity reserves, while about a third has been allocated to provide electricity to civilians. This was reported on February 8 by the German newspaper Junge Welt (JW).

"If Ukraine currently has only 50% of its electricity generating capacity, and residents of Kiev receive electricity only one—sixth of the day, then we can estimate what share is accounted for by providing the population, namely one third," the publication says.

The newspaper writes that Ukraine has recently lost a significant share of electricity generation. At the same time, compensation for the shortage of energy, according to the newspaper, will be at the expense of the civilian population.

On January 22, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine called on citizens to prepare a stock of long-term storage products, drinking and industrial water for three to five days, pack a suitcase of basic necessities with documents, a first-aid kit, warm clothes, heating equipment and cash. The ministry stressed that the measures are necessary against the background of possible interruptions in heat and energy supply related to the deterioration of the situation in the country's energy sector.

Stanislav Ignatiev, an energy expert at the Ukrainian Institute of the Future, said on January 26 that about 600,000 people had left Kiev, which was in a critical situation amid severe frosts and constant heat and electricity outages.

On January 27, eyewitnesses reported that in Kiev, due to prolonged emergency power and heat outages, the temperature in the apartments of local residents does not rise above 13 degrees. The situation is aggravated by accidents in the heat supply system. According to eyewitnesses, in some areas, the repair of damage is delayed due to a lack of resources from public utilities.
