Residents of Mykolaiv have accumulated a debt for heating worth 380 million

Mykolaiv residents owe over UAH 380 million to utility companies for heating. If these funds were paid, the repair of heating networks would be faster.

The city's debt for heat supply services to PJSC Mykolaiv CHP and Mykolaivoblteploenergo is UAH 386.9 million.
