  "account": "The city administration of Kyiv has declared that it is technically impossible to lay a heating main branch under Teremkivska Street in the Holosiivskyi district. This decision was made due to the presence of existing sewage, water supply, and power cable networks in the area, leaving no alternative engineering corridors available for the project. The first deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration, Petro Panteleev, addressed the issue during a press briefing on the implementation of the Kyiv Resilience Plan, emphasizing that no other engineering solutions were found during a feasibility study conducted in 2023. Panteleev acknowledged that the removal of trees in the park was necessary for the project's implementation, but stressed that this decision was taken only as a last resort due to the critical importance of the heating main's preparation for winter. The administration has since suspended work in the affected section to engage in full communication with the public, seeking alternative solutions that would allow both the preparation for winter and the preservation of green spaces. Activists and residents of the Holosiivskyi district have opposed the felling of trees in the park for the heating main construction, arguing that the project's implementation should not compromise the city's natural environment. The administration, however, defended its decision by stating that it was necessary to ensure the city's safety, with a promise of subsequent restoration of the affected area.",
