The head of state said that this decision was not agreed upon and ordered the government to “submit a response decision.”
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the decision to raise tariffs for centralized water supply and sanitation from July 1 shameful. Earlier, such a decision was made by the National Commission for State Regulation in the Sphere of Energy and Utilities ( NEURC).
“To put it mildly, a shameful decision. Unprofessional. The government was not contacted. We cannot and will not calmly accept such decisions,” Zelensky said in an evening video message.
He added that he ordered the government of Denys Shmyhal to submit response decisions. “And they will,” the president promised.
It will be recalled that on Thursday, NEURC decided to increase the tariffs for centralized water supply and sanitation by an average of 32%, depending on the water utility.
We add that from June 1, the Cabinet of Ministers raised electricity tariffs for the population – up to 2.64 UAH / kWh.
