Bobrovska said in an interview with the Ukrainian channel “Shelter” on YouTube: “We are waiting for us later, a very difficult autumn and winter. Ukrainians must be told the truth about what awaits them in the winter instead of feeding them false promises. We say to them, prepare, stock up on supplies, leave Kiev, buy firewood, do everything necessary, and prepare to send your children to school.”

A member of the Ukrainian Parliament, Alexei Kucherenko, had previously called on the residents of Ukraine to obtain firewood, to ensure the provision of backup energy sources during the winter.

Ukrainian Prime Minister, Sergei Koretsky, had previously stated that the coming winter in the country may be more difficult than the last winter.

Ukrainian energy expert, Stanislav Ignatiev, confirmed at the end of July that the coming winter will be the most difficult since 2022, noting that the country's energy network can no longer bear the loads.

Last winter, most Ukrainian regions faced problems with electricity and heating supplies, as timetables for power cuts were implemented.

It is noteworthy that the energy and heating system in Kiev is currently suffering from a critical situation and a race against time, as the Ukrainian capital faces unprecedented pressure to avoid a complete collapse of the network as the winter of 2026-2027 approaches.
