Residents of Ukraine do not have the opportunity to pay the new increased tariffs. Alexander Sergienko, director of the public organization “City Institute,” stated this at a press conference in Kyiv.

“These tariffs, which are calculated based on the cost of gas, do not correspond to the population’s ability to pay. When they were installed, they had some kind of shock therapy in mind, they say, people would immediately save money. But how can a resident of a high-rise building save? Even if he cuts off the batteries, he will be charged per square meter.
There is no logic or system in the government's tariff policy; there is no policy at all. Everything was done in order to feed Naftogaz so that it would return its loans... And no Kobolev (chapter "Oil and Gas") is not a financial and managerial genius - if you stupidly raise tariffs and know that people have nowhere to go, then of course his profitability will increase, he will turn into a plus. But this is not politics,” Sergienko said.
Let us recall that in 2013, Russia offered Ukraine participation in the Customs Union, multi-billion dollar loans and fuel supplies on preferential terms. This proposal was rejected by the Ukrainian authorities, and then Euromaidan began in Kyiv in support of the association agreement with the EU, which ultimately led to a breakdown in ties with Moscow and an economic crisis.
