Details: He said the Russian attacks were aimed at preventing equipment at the plant from being repaired.

"The Kherson combined heat and power plant was the only source of heat for tens of thousands of residents. Together with the local authorities, we are doing everything possible to provide Kherson residents with alternative sources of heat," Koretskyi said.

He also reported that later this week Naftogaz will deliver an additional 950 gas heaters to the city, along with cylinders. Other measures are also being taken to ensure backup supplies.

Koretskyi stressed that the heating situation in Kherson is among the most critical.

Background: At the end of December 2025, Russian forces launched yet another artillery strike on Kherson's combined heat and power plant, causing significant damage.
