But the statistics on the debt of Ukrainians for communal services are not so optimistic. As reported by “Censor.net”, in the second quarter the debt for housing and communal services increased to 106.6 billion UAH. And this is without taking into account the debt in the temporarily occupied territories. These statistics were published for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.
It is noted that since 2022, the debt has increased by UAH 25.6 billion, which is +31.6%.
The largest debt of the population was for heat and hot water (35.2 billion UAH), as well as for gas (32.3 billion UAH).
