Regarding the provision of liquefied gas to vulnerable citizens in three regions.
This is a pilot project to provide humanitarian liquefied natural gas to vulnerable groups of people in Kharkiv, Sumy, and Donetsk oblasts.
Some media outlets have probably misrepresented the information. They talk about the abolition of gas supply payments for residents of these regions in the wrong context.
Such messages mislead citizens and create social tension.
The Ministry of Reintegration explains:
- This pilot project is for vulnerable people in Kharkiv, Sumy, and Donetsk.
- The project is for liquefied gas in cylinders, which will be provided free of charge for the winter.
- The project does not affect the central gas supply system or payments for it.
The relevant pilot project is on the agenda at special meetings led by Vice Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk.
The pilot project is still in the approval process with the central executive authorities.
We’d like to ask the media to be accurate in their headlines, context, and subtext when reporting on this topic. We’d also like to encourage citizens to carefully check information and only trust official sources.
