More details Ukraine's approach to the 2024 heating season reveals a mix of resolve and caution amidst ongoing challenges. Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal underscores the nation's preparedness, citing extensive use of domestically produced gas and continuous improvements in the energy sector, despite potential threats and infrastructural damages caused by external aggressions. The focus remains strong on self-reliance with Ukraine aiming to maneuver through the winter using its own energy resources, while also ensuring sufficient gas storage and stable energy tariffs. International support, like the EUR 150 million from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), plays a pivotal role in reinforcing the country's energy infrastructure. As cities like Kharkiv lead with comprehensive winterization plans, the overall sentiment echoes determination to safeguard citizens against severe winters without external dependency.
