Key points
- Ruslan Stefanchuk complains about cold in parliament
- The incident occurred during the November 12 session
- Utilities disruptions reflect Kyiv's wider energy strain
During a plenary session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on November 12, the speaker of the Ukrainian parliament, Ruslan Stefanchuk, voiced his frustration regarding the cold indoor temperature. While at his position in the parliamentary presidium, the official pointed out the uncomfortable conditions.
The incident was captured on video and published by journalist Sofia Sereda. In the short recording, the parliament speaker briefly evaluated the climate in the hall by stating:
«Ужас. Жах. Жахливо. Холодно»(Horror. Terrible. Awfully. Cold).
Utility disruptions in the highest legislative body are part of a broader infrastructure issue. Earlier, on November 6, lawmaker Danylo Hetmantsev reported that the Verkhovna Rada had temporarily lost water and heating supplies, alongside unstable electricity delivery.
According to officials, these difficulties mirror the general energy crisis affecting Kyiv. The capital's power grid is operating at its maximum capacity due to ongoing strains, resulting in extended power outages and disruptions across urban services.
