The State Bureau of Investigation is conducting searches at the premises of Kyiv's CHP plants, which are critical infrastructure facilities and managed by Kyivteploenergo. The Kyiv City State Administration reports on the searches.
According to the report, Kyivteploenergo states that it is ready to cooperate with investigators and provide all necessary information.
However, the company does not allow investigators to enter the facility and calls on law enforcement officers to act in accordance with the law and martial law and prevent disruptions to critical infrastructure.
"Investigators are trying to enter sensitive energy facilities, access to which is legally restricted under martial law. The bureau's employees are also filming at energy facilities, grossly violating security standards," the statement said.
The Kyiv City State Administration also claims that the case of the State Bureau of Investigation does not directly concern the activities of Kyivteploenergo.
"The search warrant does not include the addresses of the physical location of the energy facilities. Therefore, the reason for the investigators' visit to Kyiv CHP is unclear," the KCSA said.
In turn, Kyivteploenergo claims that the searches pose a threat to disrupt the technological process of electricity and heat generation.
"Kyiv's CHP plants are strategically important critical infrastructure facilities, the operation of which affects not only the life of the capital, but also the functioning of the entire energy sector of Ukraine," the statement said.
