While the purpose of heating apartments comes only 7.2 billion cubic meters. That is, in General, the Ukrainians are losing more than 60% gas, the cost of which will still pay,” said Zubko.
According to him, for efficient heating in the residential sector with a comfortable twenty degrees of temperature, it is enough to eight billion cubic meters of gas.
“However, if you look at Poland, Austria or Germany to achieve this effect, they carried out appropriate investments for seven or even fifteen years”, – said Zubko.
