Expert claims Ukrenergo delays repairs while awaiting energy truce

Repair halt linked to political factor

Energy expert Yuriy Korylchuk expressed the view that Ukrenergo is allegedly not rushing to repair energy facilities. According to him, the company's behaviour is linked to expectations of a possible energy truce, which management believes may occur before the start of the winter period.

Signals "from above" on president's stance

The expert noted that Ukrenergo received relevant signals "from above". Korylchuk emphasised that the company's management was informed about President Volodymyr Zelensky's position on the prospects of achieving an energy truce. In the specialist's opinion, this is what caused repair works to not proceed at an adequate pace since April.
