President Zelenskyy: Natural gas prices for households will remain fixed

“We need more tangible mechanisms of government support for internally displaced persons. A report on these issues will be presented in the near future,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on Oct. 7.

Dear Ukrainians!

Just now, in the evening, there was a report from the Minister of Internal Affairs Klymenko, focused particularly on the response to the aftermath of Russian strikes in the regions. All branches of the Ministry of Internal Affairs – including the State Emergency Service responders and the National Police – all of them are ensuring maximum support in the communities. I want to thank everyone working for our people: our rescuers, our power engineers, and repair crews. Additional patrols will be deployed where necessary, to increase our ability to help people and maintain order.

I also spoke today with Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko. Yesterday at the Staff meeting, we decided to allocate additional funding and equipment to the regions that need it most. These are, specifically, our frontline and border regions. All of this is already underway. Moreover, for this winter, we will maintain a fixed price for natural gas for household consumers; there will be no price increases.
