KYIV, July 5 – Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal says that until the end of the war, the burden of raising tariffs should not be put on people.

"Since there are other tariffs for heat, for hot water, I am sure until the end of the war, hostilities in Ukraine, there is no need to impose an additional burden on people," Shmyhal said on the air of the national telethon on Wednesday.

The prime minister noted that local budgets currently have more than UAH 150 billion in balance, which allows them to support their utilities, in particular water ones.
