This was reported by the UK Ministry of Defense on Twitter. According to the consolidation, over the last few months in 16 settlements of Russia there have been failures in heating systems. These problems at negative temperatures only deepen the problem that pursues the cities and settlements of Russia for decades, and may have become more acute in the light of the country's military policy.
According to British intelligence, Russia has constantly preferred military expenditures over reinvestment into public infrastructure, especially after the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Many regional governments have been asked to take on the burden of solving problems when reducing funding from Moscow, which led to a reduction in maintenance costs. In addition, it is reported that mobilization has probably led to labor shortages in various fields, including qualified heat engineers and plumbing.
"Putin has instructed the Minister of Emergency Situations Alexander Kurenkov to provide the supply of residents with heat and electricity. Solving this problem is probably a key task of Putin on the eve of the future presidential elections in Russia," - said in the British Defense Ministry. It should be reminded that on January 13 in the Russian Rostov-on-Don there was a large-scale shutdown of electricity. The accident without electricity, heating and water remained dozens of houses.
