Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko discussed the current state of infrastructure with relevant ministers. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Prime Minister's post on Telegram.
Details
Specific steps that are already being implemented for the stable operation of the social sphere were also identified. This applies to the work of medical institutions, schools, social institutions, and mobile kitchens.
Medical institutions
The Ministry of Health, together with the regional military administrations, ensures the uninterrupted and autonomous operation of hospitals. All of them have alternative power sources, primarily generators. The state additionally provides reserves of generators and fuel where it is most needed. We also keep under control the provision of medicines. Hospitals and pharmacies have the necessary supplies of medicines, and price control over medicines has been strengthened.
Education
Due to the energy situation, some educational institutions are operating remotely or have temporarily suspended classes. In Kyiv, all schools, except kindergartens, are on vacation until February 1, the Prime Minister noted.
I instructed the Ministry of Education and Science to ensure control over the unconditional preservation of teachers' salaries for the period of forced holidays. For children whose parents cannot leave them at home, special classes with backup power should operate. Already now, 284 such classes have been opened in Kyiv - they are warm, have light, and the opportunity to spend the day safely.
Social sphere
The Prime Minister also instructed the Ministry of Social Policy and the regional military administrations to check which people with limited mobility and lonely pensioners need additional assistance due to the cold in their homes.
Social institutions are under special control. I instructed to conduct an additional check of all social institutions: centers for IDPs, family-type orphanages, and permanent residence institutions. All of them must have electricity, fuel for generators, and hot meals.
Mobile kitchens
The State Emergency Service of Ukraine has deployed mobile kitchens so that people can get hot food.
41 such kitchens are already operating in Kyiv, another 40 are in reserve and can be used if necessary.
Recall
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that almost 58,000 people are involved in repair brigades on power grids and generation facilities in Ukraine.
