you gain energy by walking, you regret the elevator and regain your health, we will beat the winter together, congratulations my name is vadym karpyak and today i have an interview with vitaliy klitschko, the mayor of kyiv, the capital from now on remains in the center of everything because when every day there are blows on mykolaiv, kharkiv , zaporizhzhia - it is tragic, but it does not cause, unfortunately, such massive information waves as the attacks on the capital, it is obvious that this is due to the fact that in kyiv , the embassies and main representative offices of the western media are concentrated, it receives a greater publicity and that's why we decided to talk with mr. vitaly today. thank you for agreeing on the situation and our conversation is taking place. just after

kyiv received another such energy shock in the morning, in the sense that i heard 450,000 connections. if i'm not mistaken, the light went out, that is, 450,000 points, the same not 450, hear that, no, it is much more, i can clearly say that today every third person from kyiv is uh, 450,000 apartments well , two people can live in one apartment, or three, well, a family, and that's why if you take into account at least is a million today, there are more than three million people in the city of kyiv, and this is one in three kyivans today without electricity, as of friday morning, let's start with the main one. does the kyiv authorities have an influence on these planned emergency shutdowns, or is this a question more to energy workers, first of all, the reason for these outages

is damage, deliberate damage by putin, by the russian federation, of key energy-supplying enterprises of critical infrastructure in our country, not only in kyiv , but throughout the country and the entire network of ukrainian the all-ukrainian network of ukrenergo, for which it is responsible , is interconnected and in this direction the situation is the same in other cities, as for the city of kyiv, we generate electricity, but it is also connected to external networks, and the energy that enters our city ​​a-a we heard there were strikes while on the power generators they were damaged also in the city of kyiv also er-e passed the shelling the strikes were on those er-e stations er-e power supply which external

er-e connection of external er-e flows of electricity to our city now they are working but it is in a limited mode, which means in a limited mode, because the loads on them are extremely high, and we cannot today, without removing the damage, turn on the full capacity of those e-e substations e-e seven associated temporary inclusion so that it doesn't happen to you that it might happen in one moment there will be a complete blackout when every kyiv resident will no longer be able to be without electricity because your question depends on us the maximum speed of eliminating these problems depends on us well, you can understand that a complex mechanism that was destroyed by rocket attacks, and we need you to repair it again in an extremely short period of time where the

equipment has been neutralized and put water in its place, connect it with a system - this is an extremely technologically complex process, you know, and according to our estimation, for this we need it's not easy for several weeks, and that's why once again the accusation that the government is not doing anything there. please excuse me. they quickly restored about a thousand people 24 hours a day, and vodokanal and dtek ukrenergo worked to restore electricity supply now.

the supply sector is located in the city of kyiv. in full, unfortunately, for today it is within our power, well, ukrainians are quite stoically enduring what is currently happening with our energy system, but i have a comment i am voicing one of these popular and one of the most common. and would you please try to explain why this is happening? for example, in kyiv, they are introducing a scheduled blackout schedule, and i know that there should be no light in my house until eight in the morning. i wake up at seven. to be and then before the 8th, bach is turned off and life is announced as an emergency shutdown. maybe if they had followed this plan, emergency shutdowns would not have been used then. that is, why are these schedules that do not even follow the plan, this is one thing from the most popular questions, we compiled ukrenergo, which

is not a utility company of ours, it is a state-owned enterprise of ukrenergo, and they are currently working in an enhanced mode, these schedules were compiled, but uh, the water is new, with the fact that we have an additional one that has collapsed. maybe the energy supply is in manual mode, in fact, in manual mode now the need er needs to er somehow provide electricity to aa the situation was complicated much more complicated by the shelling last monday and in this direction too sorry please, i hope that everyone should treat this with understanding, we are doing everything, i mean the local government and the central government and the state enterprise and the utility company , all in order to do it as quickly as possible, but i'm sorry , for this we need some time, i already called it

electricity, well, experts in this field say that they need 2-3 weeks there, let's try the maximum - faster than i will specify two or three weeks - this is on the condition that there will be no new shelling there, no new hits on the critical power grid, then for 2-3 weeks it is possible return to normal electricity supply correctly. yes, you understood correctly. well, then it is possible. well, for example, you, as the mayor, can talk to the specialists of ukrenergo and agree that there will be no such schedules, but people are guided by the schedules. if they are, people are guided by them, and when they are violated, it causes anger . if they weren't there, everyone would be calmer . this morning, a message came out that, unfortunately, the graphs that were made before that no longer exist, unfortunately, so we are moving on to another one. a scenario in order to provide electricity

not according to the schedule, but nevertheless to provide electricity at any opportunity . otherwise, because the energy experts are looking at the demons, they can turn on, where they can’t, they don’t turn on, they’re still trying to do it, uh, in manual mode, uh, balance in order to give an opportunity, uh, to one or the other, these graphs were destroyed by shelling on monday. then we rely on our air defense and repair crews but nevertheless, i would like to use the opportunity to thank our

defenders 16 rockets flew at kyiv, they shot down all 16 and only two were hit these years it was shot down over kyiv only the people of kyiv heard the explosions and only two rockets damaged the energy supply systems in the region, unfortunately, which were also responsible for supplying the capital, and it is because of two rockets that we have such problems. it is so difficult to imagine what would have happened if 16 more people had flown over, and there is one more very a popular question, i can't help but take the opportunity regarding electricity in kyiv , roads are being repaired in some places, one of the most popular questions is why money is spent on road repairs and not on generating power . if we have our

utility company, they receive wages , they receive money, unfortunately, today we can not attract companies that repair roads, but the condition of expensive roads is bad enough. in this way, like the podolsky descent, we take cobblestones with the help of our employees, move them with a minimum expenditure of money, e.e., raise e.e.e. in order to equalize the situation with the transport infrastructure, unfortunately, we do not have mass repairs, there are some key, uh, such glaring problems are there where the road really ceases to exist there .

today, we throw all our forces to help, firstly, the military and, secondly , to support the key e-e directions of ensuring the city's vital activities. well, then we will move on to other important aspects of ensuring this vital activity, since electricity is not only light, we are somehow out of habit we say, ah, the light has disappeared , and some kind of light bulb has disappeared, but when there is no electricity, there are not many usual freaks, for example, water, because the situation with water supply in the capital is critical, if it really disappears the light is so massive as on friday in the city of kyiv, 80% of the city was disconnected from water supply on monday, this is due to the fact that two pumping stations, the key pumping stations of dniprovska desnyansk, were without electricity and

water supply to the apartments of kyiv as quickly as possible we did everything in order to restore the water supply, i already said that for almost 12 hours, the water supply has already been restored, moreover, this is a complex mechanism, the process of not only water supply, water filtration, but also from precise waters what analysis e-e drains to the on-board walkie-talkie station is quite complicated e-e such a process and it is very closely connected with the power supply, no , it cannot happen without it. i know what questions you have. we have an additional 20% of water supply - this is for the supply from buviat, also because of the pumps , they are more different in the environment in the city, but

i assume that your house is your question. and if there is no water supply in this direction. which are currently included with the map you can check the location of pump stations on the website of the kmda or vodokanal. and in the event that, god forbid, the situation may repeat itself again when the water supply disappears, we do not rule out additional russian aggression at the water delivery points in war conditions. therefore, i ask everyone to prepare do you have some supply of drinking water at home technical water at home have uh batteries that should be uh there charged i mean

rechargeable ones with which you can uh charge the phone a supply some food supply warm things because we we are calculating various scenarios and i am asking each of the residents to also calculate various scenarios that may occur and it is extremely important to be ready for these scenarios. we live in conditions of war in conditions of aggression and this is extremely important and uh, about what is happening today in ukraine by the meaning of kyiv, i can clearly say that this is not war, this is terrorism, this is genocide. putin does not need us ukrainians, he needs the territory, he needs ukraine without us, and that is why everything that is happening now is genocide. and his task is to we died, froze, or went somewhere, went and left him our land, that's the task of the aggressor

, well, we won't let him do that, we won't let him go anywhere, we're not going to leave, and that 's why i'm asking and that's why i'm asking to calculate and be ready for different things, we'll survive here and we will survive as comfortably as possible, as far as we can afford it , so my next question is whether it is possible to increase the number of these wells, but is it possible to increase them now and new wells ? drinking water for everyone in all areas, more for all three million, so i assume the worst option for all three million in those areas , there are no tambuets there, we have already delivered water from drinking tanks and people can clearly receive it according to the schedule under the new friend, moreover, if electricity there are no

electric generators already connected to these pumping stations. they are working. they also have a supply of fuel for them. they have also been made. in other words, we have prepared for any eventuality . scrolling through different things, if there is no heat, every school eats kindergarten, well, not every one, where energy supply has already been made according to new technologies, ah, hmm, where there are generators, they can work as heating points, where you can spend time or warm up. you can get the necessary first aid, eat drinks, hmm, that is , we are now engaged in this, and the number of such points in the city of kyiv will be at least 1000 points of heating, which well, roughly

speaking, it will be possible, so i heard, food, fighting, charging is possible what devices you earn to fix the devices, they are free to visit, yes , yes, that’s enough, 1,000 per 3 million city is not enough, this is additional points, and that’s why i’m also asking for people to calculate if you have relatives, if for a bad scenario, if you have we don't have electricity and water. also calculate . if you have relatives, e. poor the scenario will develop so that you can

spend some time with your friends or acquaintances , then i will come right away, i will skip over my questions that arise in the process, because you have come to the most important thing, and we hope for the best, but prepare for the worst, this is the only possible situation in our in the event, do you assume the possibility of a complete blackout in kyiv, when the city will be without electricity, water, heat, and communication? we are doing everything to prevent this from happening. i am doing everything so that the city is without heat, without electricity, without water supply, in general, we all died, this is the task and because of it . we do not rule out we calculate

different scenarios in order to endure in order to prepare and in order not to give er you know the desire of life the desire to drive us into depression in order for people to be confused for so that people did not have any resistance at all and people ran somewhere, in the best case they died, in the worst case, they ran somewhere and moved to european countries, i would leave the aggressor, so uh, we are calculating different scenarios uh, we will not give up our country, our cities we are preparing, we want to, we will protect and we will do everything to provide assistance to every kyivan who needs this assistance for this , we have made a stockpile of fuel, diesel fuel , stockpile of electric generators, we have made a large we made a large supply of food, we made a large supply of drinking water,

we were made heating points, that is, the medical facility must work, that is, we are ready for various scenarios and under no circumstances will we raise our hands, we will not raise our hands. also, we will fight to defend our city this scenario is good for our country, it is pleasing that kyiv is ready now. i want to understand how ready the people of kyiv are, because if you, as the head of the city, envisage different options, then the kyivans must obviously also know about these options, and in case this comes block i, as a kyivan, must know what i do in this situation. kyivans are informed about where they should go , how they should behave, what to wait for. we wait there conditionally for 6 hours. if there is no message from the authorities, do

we go to the heating points or wait 3 hours? well, i don't. i know what to do in case of that, that's why we constantly remind, that's why we warn, that's why we repeat all the information that is needed in order for each of them to be ready, that's where you can get support, where is the heat point , where are the water points, what's more, we prepared so that if there is no electricity and so on in order to print out as quickly as possible and in the entrances all the additional information that will be needed by the residents, and those and other buildings related to a reminder once again where is located but i also want to apply using the moments please for yourself for

your family take it please model a different scenario what will be needed where is the heat point the heating point you should know and not then at the last moment please go to site look where you can not take your pump, where is the nearest bovi one second or third nearby in order to take water, you should not calculate all these questions at the last moment you should also be prepared for this, so all this information is on the site kmda if you need more information, you can get it at 1551 or at district e-e administrations when you can apply. yes, it is actually very important, as the mayor just said. do not wait until it starts and then you will go look for this on the website information then i want to be in touch for everything. let's not already, god forbid, a blackout will begin. i'm just

now drawing the worst possible option, so it's better to have an emergency suitcase and warm things and heating points in advance, addresses of heating points and addresses of pump stations where you can get water. communication is a very important moment, what will happen to communication in the event of a complete power outage, well, first of all, mobile because, unfortunately, not many have landline phones, although experience shows that they sometimes work independently of electricity which is around the city because they have their own power supply, and with mobile communication, which is ubiquitous, what will be the situation regardless of the use, having a contract with one or another network of the operator, they agreed that the connection of phones will be to every network that will be in the access zone, this is the first secondly, secondly, we are currently developing an algorithm so that the power supply of all signal distribution towers also works, and uh, as

for the internet, it will be a little more difficult, but it will also depend on uh, operators, but gsm communication -e must be but guarantee full coverage as in normal conditions, the operators are not yet ready, they have placed on each broadcast station, of which there are enough in our city, not on every one, but on the key stations , the electric power supply for the distribution of the signal. well, then from this series the last question you already have .

in 2006, when the whole city and the entire system froze and it had to be completely changed, not just repair there, completely change the system, is it possible for such a situation in kyiv in the event of a lack of electricity and high frosts that the communication and this communal system will be critically disabled to such an extent that ihora will be completely it is impossible to change, why volchevsk was not prepared and the system froze and that is why we are coming back again, it is necessary to analyze a different scenario and in this direction we also analyzed in the case moreover, if there will be severe frosts and there will be no hot water supply in order not to break the pipes and this system will not function completely, a plan has already been prepared for purging

the merging of the system in order for the merging of water from the system in order not to damage the e-e network, this is also it has been worked out and uh, this should not happen because the heating stations are also being prepared and being prepared. we will provide it again . you and i frankly, as adults, talk about different scenarios and even the worst scenario for which you need to prepare and be ready. we will do everything that depends on us so that such a scenario does not happen and we and our military protect us but nevertheless guarantee 100% in i

can and that's why we simulate different situations and each of us must also be prepared for this in order to react as quickly as possible without consequences without consequences for the city and for each of the citizens of kyiv, let's return to the beginning of our conversation you mentioned that there are 3 million kyivans now, no, ken , there are approximately 3 million people living in the city, there is an understanding of how this figure changes, how many of these people are in the process of internal displacement, how many kyivans and how many have not yet returned to the city, because well , having this number, you can then count on the power that will be needed to ensure the passage of winter, it is possible to clearly tell you that we control all the information that is in the city, how many citizens are now in our city, a clear figure, a little

more than 3 million e-e are staying overnight in our city. much more come from the region every day, i.e. more than three million of them stay overnight, e-e three, 3,300,350,000 internally displaced persons e-e, i.e. every tenth person in our city today is a person who came from other regions, who are looking for support, and we, the city of kyiv, provide assistance to everyone internally displaced, social assistance, they use the same services for religions, as what are the people, now we cannot have strangers, we are all our own, supporting each other we we help to be become much stronger and that is why we control the situation that is happening in the city regarding the number of people regarding reserves regarding the reserves and the calculation of

what we need to support the life of those people who are in the city we are based we approach this issue to the maximum systematically, well , traditionally, by the end of the year, the number of people in kyiv increased because part of the students there left, but people came and returned, and who wanted to celebrate the new year in the capital the already traditional christmas tree on mykhailivska christmas and new year holidays this year, well, in fact, christmas will not just be on december 25 and january 7, and metropolitan epiphany even allowed the service on the holiday and i am running a little ahead of course, of course there are still almost two months, but the christmas and new year holidays otherwise, the calendar will come and so on, even despite the curfew, people will want to somehow celebrate them, what will happen this year with christmas and new year in kyiv, will there be a christmas tree on

mykhailivska or not, and first of all we we are moving away from security and this question once again i want to repeat it as a key closer to the new year, well, first of all, the new year and christmas will not be canceled electricity first of all, but your question is about the celebration i am convinced that everyone will be able to follow in their family your celebration as usual, well, there will not be such uh mass uh celebrations one hundred percent 100% as for the new year tree, we are now considering the issue, nevertheless, in these difficult times to pass also so that, well, new
