The local government is not left out either. Mayor Andriy Sadovy published a video where he told how the preparations for the heating season are going in Lviv and gave some tips on how every resident of the city can prepare for the cold weather.

Secondly, if possible, it is worth buying “burzuyki” stoves and firewood. In the absence of gas and electricity, they will help to warm up and cook food.
You should also stock up on battery-powered lanterns and lamps. Dry alcohol, candles and matches should not be neglected either. Again, this will allow you to light up your premises and at least get some boiling water. Owners of apartments with wooden windows should seal the window frames in advance so that there are no drafts.
We remind you that the start of the heating season in Ukraine this year is planned to start after October 15 taking into account weather conditions.
