The main thing is to adhere to the principle that this is a coalition of unity, which is not divided into its own from its own, but unites all pro-Ukrainian forces,&#8221; the People&#8217;s Deputy emphasized.<\/p>\n<p> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Pz9Qr4jgqlE&#038;t=185s<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/kyiv-residents-as-a-bargaining-chip-whats-happening-in-the-capital-of-ukraine\/\">Kyiv residents as a bargaining chip: what&#8217;s happening in the capital of Ukraine<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> Pavlenko expressed doubts about the effectiveness of the NSDC meetings, where instead of concrete steps, they often look for culprits among local authorities. He noted that Kyiv has effectively found itself hostage to political squabbles, although the city needs real decentralization of energy and the creation of repair funds.<\/p>\n<p> According to him, promises of new generation capacities remain just loud words for now. Problems with connecting cogeneration units in the regions only confirm the bureaucratic chaos that hinders the resilience of cities to the upcoming challenges of the heating season, Rostyslav Pavlenko added.<\/p>\n<p> Earlier, the government reported that the total need for restoration and reconstruction of Ukraine is 588 billion US dollars. According to Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, in 2025 alone, Russian aggression caused Ukraine losses of 64 billion dollars. The housing sector, transport and logistics infrastructure, and energy suffered the greatest damage.<\/p>\n<p> At the same time, Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal said that the need for restoration and modernization of the energy sector for the next ten years is $90.6 billion. Compared to the previous estimate, this amount has increased by 34%. For the rapid restoration of the energy sector <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/na-vidnovlennia-enerhetyky-potribno-90-6-mlrd-dolariv\/\">in 2026, $4.9 billion is needed<\/a> .<\/p>\n<p> Meanwhile, the leader of the &#8220;European Solidarity&#8221; Petro Poroshenko called on the authorities <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/poroshenko-poiasnyv-de-vziaty-hroshi-na-pidhotovku-do-nastupnoi-zymy\/\">to urgently organize financing for the preparation of the energy sector<\/a> for the next winter. According to the fifth President, the government should issue targeted government bonds and use these funds to ensure the modernization and protection of the energy system by the fall.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a series of Russian attacks, Ukraine\u2019s power system lost more than two-thirds of its capacity, leaving less than 10 GW of its pre-war 32 GW in operation.
