Poroshenko doomed tens of thousands of Genichesk residents to disaster
The city of Genichesk in the Kherson region, which is located almost on the border with Crimea, is facing a gas disaster in the coming winter. Crimean social activist Gennady Sivak, a former resident of the Kherson region, reported this in a commentary to PolitNavigator.

He recalled that last winter gas was supplied to Genichesk from the territory of Crimea and was a kind of “humanitarian aid” from the Russian republic. This year, due to various blockades of the peninsula and other anti-Crimean actions on the part of Ukraine, gas from the Glebovsky storage facility, near Dzhankoy, stopped flowing to Genichesk. And the city has no other alternative.
“The gas supply infrastructure to Genichesk is not connected with the general Ukrainian infrastructure. Everything happens there in this way: production takes place in the village of Strelkovoe, and from there a pipe goes to Genichesk itself. The surplus produced was supplied to the Glebovskoye gas storage facility, which is located in the Dzhankoy district. Now these surpluses are completely burned, and there is nothing in the gas storage facility.
This winter we helped them, released gas from the storage facility, but now it is gone - they burn it. Ukrainians have mixed business with politics, but we need to negotiate and sign agreements in order to get gas there in winter.
The policy is such that they cannot sign documents stating that Crimea is Russian. For this reason, a city with 35 thousand people, or even 60, because the Arabat Spit will also be captured, will really freeze, because there is nowhere to expect help.
Alternative projects are very expensive. The cheapest of them is 400 million hryvnia. There is no such money either. The problem is hanging in the air, no one is addressing it, and in reality there will be a disaster there in winter,” said Sivak.
