alexander, please. thank you vasyl for the word. i greet the audience. in the next few minutes , i will summarize the results of this economic week, as well as the hot topic that we will talk about with the energy expert, we will talk about the enemy's attacks on the energy infrastructure. to what extent it is protected, what losses the power grid bears, all about this in detail in a moment. i am oleksandr morchivka, congratulations, this is a column about money in wartime. during the night of today, the russians struck the objects of the electricity distribution system, oil and gas facilities and a number of thermal power plants in dniproges. ukraine received emergency energy aid from romania, slovakia and poland. this was reported to the ministry of energy. problems in the network are observed, in particular in the kharkiv, dnipropetrovsk, odesa, khmelnytskyi regions, in addition, some mines in

the dnipropetrovsk region remain without electricity, more than a thousand miners have been brought out from the ground. well, before that to analyze the situation with an expert, oleksandr kharchenko should join us. let's look at the story about dnipro-hes, what are the losses, what are the comments in ukrenergo, ukrhydroenergo, and what are the prospects? dniprovska gest is the first hydroelectric power station that was built on... in 1939, in addition to the production of cheap electricity , several other problems were solved on the dnipro river. first, a powerful industrial and energy center was created, and thanks to the hes dam, which raised the water level in the river, the possibility of navigation from the black sea to kyiv and above was created. according to history dnipro-hes was blown up twice. initially , the nkvd workers, on stalin's orders , did this in 1941 to stop the german offensive.

troops, and two years later, the nazis did the same when they retreated. thousands of ukrainians died as a result of those disasters. after the second world war, the gas was designed according to a new model. hydropower, of course, is powerful, super powerful. as for the majzal, mashzal, you understand, it is somewhat simplified, it is the mashzal, where the aggregates are located, where the upper part is, but where the aggregates are located in the construction part in the lower part, it is also very powerful there is a building. the dnipro-g dam itself consists of 49 so-called bulls, supports, which are connected from above by a monolithic reinforced concrete bridge. the length of the dam is 760 m, and the height is 60 m. there is a tunnel inside, which is necessary for technical personnel to monitor the condition of the structure. the power of the station before the full-scale invasion of russia was more than 1,500 megawatts. the dam could be at risk if it breaks.

dam of the kremenchug reservoir, according to data from the website of the zaporizhzhya district state administration, in this case in 6 hours in 18 minutes, the wave will reach dniprovska gs. water in 20 hours. goes to the breakthrough level, i.e. 53 m. in this case, the dniprovska ge will collapse and flooding of the lower part of the district will begin along the kakhovsky reservoir. in this case , the territories of the vozneseniv, dnipro, komunar and oleksandriiv districts of zaporizhzhia fall into the zone of catastrophic flooding. the rise of water in some places of the zone of catastrophic flooding will reach 8-12 m, this is about the fourth-fifth floor and will be received from four to... hours from the next drop in water levels for two to four days, but in order to destroy this hydroelectric power station from the outside, you need to lay explosives from the inside, as the russians did from the kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station? according to experts, it is almost impossible to destroy another powerful object, the kyiv hydroelectric power station, which was built

according to the same principle as dniprovska. according to forbes , 215 highmars missiles or 40 storm shadow missiles, which have explode at the same time. general director of ukrhydroenergo ihor sorota stated that, too it is possible to destroy it if three 500-kilogram aerial bombs are dropped from an airplane at one point, but russia is unlikely to be able to use such an arsenal of weapons at once. scientists also modeled the worst-case scenario. in the event that the kyiv sea overflows its banks due to a man-made disaster, the northern part of kyiv will suffer the most. obolon and troeshchyna microdistricts. islands. dnipro, as well as the left bank of the capital, which is already obvious - the head of ukrhydroenergo noted, the enemy will not stop in his intentions to damage our critical infrastructure, because he has not received the terrorist act in novaya kakhovka deserves a world reaction. well, let's add to the conversation oleksandr

kharchenko, director of the energy research center. he's on the phone. good evening. mr. oleksandr, i have a direct question for you: the enemy does not only destroy. infrastructure, energy infrastructure , civil, the question is straightforward, it seems to me that the enemy is trying to deprive ukraine of the export of electricity, we have already been deprived of grain transit, but in poland we see these protests, now they have started, i am sure, there is the hand of the kremlin, and they have started for ukraine not to was able to sell, and what has she been doing in recent weeks, the current abroad, your answer, you know, lately on... shakesport has been so meagre, that i don't think that it is in principle seen as a target by russian terrorists. this attack , which was the most powerful of the entire war, it had an absolutely clear script, and energetically it was aimed

at making ukraine a blackout, a cascading accident, in which the power system falls to pieces, and then it is very difficult to restore it, it takes big time, great... consumers remain off the grid, but they have not succeeded in achieving the goal they set for themselves, the power system is working, controlled, and all those who are now, unfortunately, suffering due to lack of power, i am sure that during there will literally be a maximum of two days of recovery, but what is the power of dniproges, and now we see interruptions in dnipropetrovsk, odesa, khmelnytskyi, kharkiv regions. well, in the plot, various scenarios were voiced, and in particular , a negative one for the kyiv hydroelectric plant, but is it really possible to observe direct so-called fan outages in the coming days, as the residents of odessa are already talking about. well, look, let's divide it into two

parts: the first is the actual consequences of the attack, which, to be honest, well, dniprogez was there by three or five percent. from the general attack, and the damage caused to dniproges, it is of course unpleasant, but nothing more than that, and as for disconnections in general, the situation is really difficult in kharkiv and odesa, there are many disconnected consumers, during the day, due to technological reasons and actually caused by the attacks, there were blackouts in some regions, including sumy region, including kirovohrad region, the most difficult situation in... is kharkiv, odesa, kryvyi rih. at all these points, intensive work is underway to restore normal power and it will be restored. as for the long-term consequences, so to speak, how much our generation has suffered as a whole,

it is too early to say now, because it is necessary to carefully assess what exactly was damaged and how quickly it will be possible to restore those resources that are now were damaged, once again... it's not only dniprogest, it's many others, including coal-fired power plants, and here we have a lot of work to do to restore the generation potential. well, here in... they reported that the work to restore the networks is indeed underway and said that this time the protection that was financed by international partners helped, let me remind you, it consists of three levels, in your opinion, you are familiar with that protection energy facilities, which was often talked about in the government and in fact prepared for enemy attacks even earlier in the winter, does this protection really work, and we are grateful to international partners and... maybe saved our power system from more catastrophic consequences? well, that’s absolutely true, the actual

goal of the attack was not achieved precisely because the defense at all levels worked, well , it’s clear that the anti-aircraft defense worked, and a lot of the means of impressing the moscow forces were shot down, but where they did arrive, at all points where built protection, this protection... to work is another matter, which, unfortunately, eh, the ideal is very difficult to achieve, ukrainians are energetic are huge, and we just haven't had time to protect absolutely all the objects yet, the work is ongoing and ongoing, but where protection was installed, where it is already available, it worked absolutely properly, and we once again made sure that ukrainian energy workers did their homework correctly and did it well, because believe me, any european country... after receiving such an attack, not only would it go into a cascading accident and have a power outage for several days,

but also very thought for a long time, as in principle recover and how in principle to start up your generating capacity, mr. oleksandr, and the last question, i want to ask you, the united states, they say, called on ukraine to stop attacks on the energy infrastructure of russia, well, what will this lead to an increase in world oil prices, well, they wrote about it in the publication... financial times, there are already various comments on this matter, well , i will voice one comment, it is, for example, they say, this is an article ordered by russia, that there is no need to attack, the head of state also spoke about this at the security forum in the capital nsdc, what are we? we will attack where ukraine needs first of all, and not what the united states demands, what do you think is the information that is thrown into, let's say, space, or does it have... on a basis, in particular economic, you you know,

i don't see any logic in the argument that is given in this article, because when people write that attacks on oil refineries will lead to a decrease in the supply of crude oil to the market, well, that's just absurd, they will lead to an increase in the supply of crude oil to the market , i am not inclined to consider this article gate-ordered, it is rather the result of such, you know, powerful work of the moscow special services in order to promote narratives that are beneficial to them in the western audience, which, unfortunately, a large number of people in the west are still ready to accept, but in my opinion this article completely unargued and not professional, and here i can only support these statements of the secretary of our rbo and other government representatives who say that ukraine. has the right to attack with its weapons wherever it deems appropriate, and attacks on oil refineries

factories of russia, they are more than expedient, and here i only support this position, we should do it. thank you for the conversation, for joining the column about money during the war. oleksandr kharchenko, director of the energy research center, was on the phone, and i continue to talk about money during the war. ukraine is not going to extend the contract for the transit of russian gas, that's all. minister of energy herman galushchenko announced last week. no additional agreements are planned - says the government official. our gas transportation system passed the stress test and ready to live without fuel supply from the aggressor country. true, earlier the expert environment discussed the possibility of continuing fuel supplies from russia to circumvent the contracts with gazprom, but kadmin rejects this scenario as well. this week, the verkhovna rada supported it. amendments to the bill on the rights of servicemen and policemen to social protection. people's

deputy yaroslav zheleznyak reported this. the updated document talks about the possibility of military personnel to be treated abroad for up to a year without need pass the vlk and receive a one-time maternity leave with retention of salary. a cash payment for the families of the fallen soldiers was also established, amounting to 15 million hryvnias. let's bill the muscovites. an office for the registry of damages inflicted by russia on our country was opened in kyiv. the first applications will concern destroyed housing. more than 500,000 appeals are expected, and the total number may reach 8 million. the representative office will accept requests from businesses, government structures and ordinary people. let me remind you that the eu adopted last year the decision to create an international register of damages caused to ukraine by erefia. the main office will function in the hague, and the representative office will be in the capital of ukraine. let's listen to the direct speech. it should be remembered that

the loss register is only the first step. we continue active work on the creation of a compensation mechanism that will consider applications registered in the register and make decisions on the amount of compensation awarded, and we usually work to ensure that these decisions can be implemented, and people, companies and the state receive a real, effective and fair compensation. in addition, we will support potential applicants and inform them of the steps they need to take. to submit applications, we will conduct information campaigns so that ukrainian citizens can submit appropriate applications to satisfy their interests. we will monitor how to submit these applications and inform you in detail in future issues. i, oleksandr morshevka, say goodbye, but the big broadcast continues, there will be more, watch us. well, we continue. now i

i would like to add serhiy rudenko to the conversation , the verdict program starts at 8:00 p.m., which is today 's subtext, although of course i am guessing, but let's still give serhiy, the opportunity to tell us in detail, serhiy, congratulations, please vasyl, congratulations, today we will talk about the massive missile attack on ukraine by the russian federation, today on the night of march 22, more than 100 different types of aerial weapons, starting. missiles ending with drones, russia used impressive critical infrastructure facilities on the territory of ukraine, that as a result of this happened and what is the current state of ukrainian energy, let's talk with the minister, former minister of energy ivan plachkov, he will tell us about

whether ukraine will be able to continue to exploit the dnipro-hes, which was hit by the russians today. and in general, what does this attack mean already at the end of the heating season, why are the russians actually now starting to hit our infrastructure, critical infrastructure. in addition, in the first part of our program , we will have as a guest valery chaly, diplomat and former ambassador extraordinary plenipotentiary of ukraine in the united states of america. let's talk about the situation surrounding the allocation of money from the american one. budget for the support of ukraine, we know that the congress of the united states of america did not pass a decision on providing ukraine with 60 billion dollars, and now the british edition of the financial times writes that washington is calling, they say, not ukraine, to strike at russian oil refineries, because it they say

it may affect the price of oil on world markets, we will hear what mr. chaly thinks about it. literally in 11 minutes, well, at 21:15 we will have it traditional journalism club, its guests will be two of my colleagues, these are olga len and olga musafirova, let's talk about what is happening in russia, because literally at this moment, when we are on the air, on the air, information appeared about , that there was a shooting in the suburbs of moscow, three unknown people entered. in the shopping center crocus city hall and apparently shot people, there are up to 12 victims, 12 killed and 50 wounded, so something incredible is happening there, and this is all happening during the week of putin's holiday in pseudo-elections, because russia is now just

throwing itself into a corkscrew so much. serious, apparently, two large shellings, massive shelling of ukraine, well, plus this situation in the moscow region, in short, let's talk about what the next six years of the so-called president putin will bring, and how it will end for ukraine and the world, it's all in the journalism club, we start at 8:00 p.m. and continue at 9:15 p.m., but vasyl zima's big broadcast, i will look forward to the verdict program, well, some news: the european union is preparing sanctions against belarus, iran, and the dprk with the help of russia, well, that's it... it's clear that there is help, it's important here what the sanctions will be, they want to remove the speaker of the house of representatives, mike johnson, for his posts, cnn also gives this

information, it's important and long overdue, one person can't which is always in connection with donald trump, well, delaying processes that are important for the security of ukraine, for the security of the united states, for the security of the european continent, only because he cannot understand how he ... come up with something that ukraine will not receive. we understand everything that is happening. the delay in financing, the delay in aid to the armed forces, and the blocking of the borders with poland, no matter who there gives any reasons, and these words about the ukrainian oligarchs making money, well, that’s all, these are lyrics, and there is simply an adequate reality, plus shelling of the energy infrastructure, efforts to deprive ukraine of energy exports and imports, this is a blow to the economy, we understand that russia is using that time as much as possible. what we are and with a shortage of ammunition at the front and missiles for air defense, the delay in funding from the united states of america again, with weapons, there are certain

internal processes in the verkhovna rada, which cannot in any way be born into a very correct, clear law on mobilization, which would give results and many other nuances, and putin uses it to the maximum, he has accumulated, he has invested huge amounts of money, now this surge in the war , we understand, he will not have this money and resources indefinitely, but we have to endure it now... we need the support of our partners, well, the netherlands say that a huge amount of ammunition will now come to ukraine somewhere, let's believe it, prime minister of the netherlands said this, now about sports, yesterday the national team of ukraine proved that it has character, let's see, the national team of ukraine took an important step towards the european championship 2024, the day before in zennytsia serhii's team... won a dramatic victory over the national team of bosnia and herzegovina. in a tight and not very spectacular game, our team was the first to concede. at the beginning of the second half, mykola matvienko cut

the ball into his own goal. however, in the final 5 minutes of regular time, ukraine managed to turn the tide of the match in its favor. roman yaremchuk, who came on as a substitute, first restored parity, and then assisted artem dovbyk. so the ukrainians scored twice within three minutes. the head coach of our national team is serhii rebruk. praised the opponent 's defensive performance but praised his team for the will to win, the bosnia national team changed their formation, they played three central defenders, so we prepared for it, but i think today was such a difficult game because bosnia defended very well and it was very difficult to break through this line of defense, so it's good that we won, it was a very tough game and we expected such a game. today, the ukrainian national team arrived in wroclaw, poland. in this city , on march 26, the blue and yellow team will play a decisive match in the fight for a ticket to the euro against

the national team of iceland. in one of the other face-to-face matches, the icelanders did not leave a chance to the israeli national team. the vikings crushed the opponent with a score of 4:1. also on thursday, georgia beat luxembourg - 2:0. greece crushed kazakhstan - 5:0. poland was not small. poland. had no problems with estonia 5:1, and wales beat finland 4:1. for two more tickets to euro-26 on march 26, wales will play against poland, and georgia against greece. two ukrainian women reached the third round of the wta 1000 tournament in miami. the day before , angelina kalinin and dayana estremska won their matches. kalinina in a strong-willed style defeated the express racket of planet danko karolin wozniacki 5-7. 564. yastremska won over australian daria sevil. two sets were enough for dayana - 75-75. in the next round, the woman from odesa will compete against

the leader, the legend edin dzeko, the team of bosnia and herzegovina, and who is playing now in turkey, already at an age, not in the prime of his footballing powers, a man had two moments, two moments in front of the goal, and one shot on sparrows, another time he barely pushed in the direction of lunin, we had yaremchuk and dobek at the moment, we had shots and goals, so everything was deserved, we will wait for the match with iceland, and now, but cool, by the way, european fans reacted to the victory of ukraine from different countries. they wrote how happy we are, they said, as the italians said , that we are happy that you overturned this bus, well , really, football must win, then football will develop, yes, today i will announce the weather, and today is the day of water, water resources, and tomorrow, march 23, is world day in ukraine meteorologist, well, tomorrow we will congratulate natalka didenko, the weather on saturday promises to be warm with sunshine, only in the west
