Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has accused Kyiv Mayor Leonid Chernovetsky of using corrupt schemes to divert payments of Kyiv residents for heat and water supplies.

She said at a briefing on Friday that the mayor and his team are responsible for the problems that have recently occurred with the provision of Kyiv residents with heat and hot water.

Tymoshenko said that the government would consider the situation with heat supply in Kyiv at its next meeting.

"The Kyiv question should be considered by the Prosecutor General's Office. I hope this will happen," she said.
