On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a conference call regarding the situation in the regions following Russian strikes on energy infrastructure. The central issue of the meeting was the readiness of heat supply systems and the regions' provision with necessary equipment. Following the meeting, the head of state announced that an updated list of the state's needs for energy equipment and machinery had been compiled, which will serve as the basis for further negotiations with European partners. ### Order to Verify Regional Reports Zelenskyy instructed government members, together with representatives of the Secretariat of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) and the Office of the President team, to verify a series of reports from regional administrations. This concerns the actual state of heat supply in the regions and equipment availability. "I expect complete and truthful information," the president emphasized, adding that certain tasks must be completed within the current day. ### Recovery Works and the Situation in Kramatorsk Meeting participants heard reports on the progress of restoration works in Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, and Donetsk oblasts. Special attention was paid to the situation in Kramatorsk, where, according to authorities, the consequences of infrastructure strikes remain most tangible. Particular focus was placed on the reliability of incoming local information to eliminate discrepancies between reports and the actual situation on the ground. ### Protection of Power Transmission and Logistics Facilities Separately, the participants discussed with the Commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine the parameters for protecting designated electricity distribution and transmission facilities, as well as logistics hubs, which, according to the president, are facing particularly active attacks these days. The assigned tasks for their protection must be completed within a day. The Prime Minister, in turn, reported on the implementation of decisions in Kyiv regarding backup transport schemes in case of power supply disruptions. ### Negotiations with European Partners in Ireland Zelenskyy specified that the updated list of energy equipment needs and specific support measures will be discussed with certain European partners during meetings in Ireland. Thus, the outcomes of the conference call are directly linked to the foreign policy track and the search for resources to restore the energy system. ### Context: Connection to Heat in Kyiv and Odesa Against the backdrop of discussing the situation in the regions, it is worth noting data on the progress of the heating season in major cities. According to information, as of November 5, about 45% of capital residential buildings in Kyiv were connected to heat, with plans to connect the entire housing stock within a few days. In Odesa, the 2026–2027 heating season began on November 9: heat was primarily supplied to educational institutions, hospitals, and other social infrastructure facilities. ## Fact-Check & Sources - [Зеленский поручил проверить отчеты из областей по ситуации с отоплением](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/zelenskiy-doruchiv-pereviriti-zviti-oblastey-1794423207.html) - Primary source: conference call, order to verify reports, regional reports, meetings in Ireland, Kyiv data (45% by Nov 5) and Odesa data (start Nov 9). - [Зеленский поручил проверить отчеты областей о готовности к отопительному сезону](https://24tv.ua/ru/rossijskie-udary-po-jenergetike-zelenskij-provel-selektornoe-soveshhanie-po-itogam-ataki_n3178619) - Confirms the date (Wednesday, Nov 11), updated needs list, regional and Kramatorsk reports, backup transport schemes in Kyiv.
