You can't fix everything quickly.

Ukraine is gradually recovering from massive shelling of its energy infrastructure, but remains happy with problems that cannot be solved in a short time, and for these reasons, emergency blackouts continue.
So, the head of the Rada committee on energy and housing and communal services Andrey Gerus on the air of the telethon, he said that it was impossible to restore all the damaged energy infrastructure facilities in the coming months.
“The equipment that is in the warehouses of our European partners is already on its way to Ukraine, it is quickly transferred. However, during this winter, it is impossible to restore all the damaged energy infrastructure facilities.”Gerus said.
According to him, the Ukrainian energy system is constantly under fire, and in Europe there is not enough equipment that Ukraine needs, and it will take at least 6 months to manufacture it.
Gerus added that Ukraine is repairing facilities on its own, and compensates for the shortage of electricity with successive outages.
Recall that, according to According to Ukrenergo, the deficit in the Ukrainian energy system is now 27%.

Heating points will not be enough
According to the mayor of Kyiv Vitali Klitschko, in the event of a blackout, based on the population, even 10 heating points will not be enough for the capital.
“More than three million people now live in Kyiv, and in case of an emergency, God forbid, when a complete blackout can take place, for a city of three million, even thousands, even 10 thousand points to keep warm will not be enough»- said Klitschko.
Therefore, according to him, every citizen of Kiev should independently prepare for a possible shutdown and stock up on food, water and warm clothes.
