Do Ukrainians pay for a communal flat during the war?

Ukrainians’ debts to utilities already amount to about 140 billion hryvnia. According to Oleg Popenko, co-founder of the Union of Utilities Consumers, Ukrainians also accumulated debt in the pre-war years, but in the summer most citizens repaid their debts. But in 2023, against the backdrop of rising electricity costs, there will be even more debt as the population does not have enough money. \

“Whoever can, of course will pay. But there will be a drop in the ocean. There will be a large army of non-payers. It will grow again in the future, this process will intensify, especially during the heating season,” he predicted.
