this is due to the fact that a number of substations that are responsible for the export of electricity from, first of all, nuclear hydrogen generating capacities were destroyed by the blows of this specific a and the opportunity to supply electricity from nuclear power plants to the network was lost. as a result, the automation worked normally as it was supposed to work and was turned off nuclear power plants, first of all, and also part of hydroelectric power plants, as a result of which there was a further wave of shutdowns, so-called frequency waves, when they decrease already uncontrollably without dispatcher commands the frequency in the system this happened and in several regions the supply was completely stopped the good news is that after about 8-10 hours ee managed to restore the integrity and control of the system already at night the system was reunited and continued to work

synchronized regime from the european therefore, what is happening now, why are people completely, but the blockade in our communication began to happen on the air, i will remind you that we are talking with oleksandr kharchenko , director of the energy research center, who already got back in touch please continue yes i hear you well finish the thought what is happening now the system is already fully operational but it lacks generating capacity nuclear power plants everything that is not working at full capacity they need the planned planned volume of generation in order to reach for a few more hours, we are talking about 7-8-10 additional hours, so during this time, nuclear generation will reach

full capacity and then the demand from consumers for electricity will be met, this will mean that the majority of consumers in ukraine will return to the situation when they have electricity 16-18 hours a day, it is impossible to completely restore the network now, there is not enough equipment, nor the technical means we need for this, but nevertheless to the regime when people will have electricity 16- we will return 18 hours a day during this day. i think a maximum of half of the next day. what will happen next? well, sometime in a week, if there are no new attacks, we will live quite steelily according to the planned shutdown schedules, that is, schedules human influence is predicted absolutely accurately. unfortunately, we cannot predict how it will develop, as

we have repeatedly talked to you and other experts on the air about the fact that the russians set themselves goals and hit directly into the distribution networks without generating for now it has changed. no, it has changed. it was also a blow to the distribution system, but unfortunately it is being exhausted. that is, all these blows that ripple through the transformer substations and the devices for the output of electricity from the power plants the power plants themselves are fine, the radioactive background is normal, there are no problems at the stations themselves, as of today, and there are no serious damages , not the majority. well, more precisely, like all nuclear power plants, there are no serious damages. some of the coal-fired power plants are damaged, but this is enough non-systematic damage. will be eh will be

repaired in the near future and they are not fundamental for the stability of the system, therefore the ability of the system to resist unfortunately decreases, it objectively knocks out this equipment step by step step by step, the ability to er operate. so, such and such attacks are reducing. well, in general, we already know about appeals, not that we are tired, but we are constantly announcing appeals to the european community to the world community so that there is a tougher reaction to this missile terror, but when you know, we are talking about when the interests of third parties, in particular moldova , are affected, so to speak. on the border, we are talking about the disconnection of stations, which, well, in the western regions, our nuclear power plants. and this is already an emergency situation that can affect the situation in poland, moldova, other

eu countries, including that there should be a strong reaction from the eu authorities, possibly other organizations. i'm sorry, i'm here in parallel, i am reading the tape that appeared when we are talking with you. i would not say that the damage is insignificant, i said that they will be repaired and they are not strategic for the system, but some stations are simply significantly damaged you know, we have a stock of equipment and the necessary things to restore them, as for your question, well, moldova is actually a part of the ukrainian energy system and moldova is experiencing a blackout with us to the full extent, so really moldova is here, you know, such a hostage of the russian regime and it is also suffering together with ukraine, and as for international partners , it is definitely the main thing that they can do now is to intensify the protection of the ukrainian sky , unfortunately, it is the necessary equipment that we need

for repairs, we need to produce and it will take time, and that is, they cannot give us something that will restore our power system within a week, it is impossible, so now the main thing is, of course, work in this direction continues. it helps within a week or two, it gives its results in a month, a half, or three months, and we need help right now, and the best help here is definitely to strengthen the defense of our sky, or can we say that spending on missiles which we are launching today on the territory of ukraine and on the energy system and the costs of replacing this damaged equipment are commensurate . what do you think, you know, i saw an estimate here that

russia has already fired more than a billion dollars worth of missiles at us since october 10, if we have somewhere around 300 million, then we will buy all the necessary equipment so that you can comment on what is happening in ukraine now they are working on creating a parallel alternative energy network. explain to ordinary people who do not know much about energy how quickly it can be done and whether it could be done in general and here, in particular, in this matter, there are also statements that the united states of ukraine wants to build an e- eh mobile modular reactors will they be able to replace the test in particular let me try to answer both questions yes eh definitely president zelenskyi is right we need another more protected structure of our energy network no one in the world

did not count on its energy networks for missile attacks of 1000 more missiles eh , but this is a matter of years. will be built in the united states in 2027 , so i sincerely hope that the victory over russia will happen in our country sooner. the border guard's collection, you can understand people who turn on all household appliances as soon as the electricity comes on after a long break, director general serhiy kovalenko explains clearly. but such behavior will only lead to overloading of the network and a new shutdown. my

personal advice is not to turn everything on at once in the first minute. well, you have to make some decisions, install a power bank, you don't need to immediately. well, you don't need to turn on all these washing machines right away, all these dishwashers, there are broilers - these are different. i understand what is this is such a rather controversial thing that i am saying, but it is necessary well, we all need it, we need it, we need it, we need it, we need to save each and every kilowatt, this is, at the moment, the only possibility for everyone to receive electricity more evenly, the army of the russian federation is not in a position to get zaporizhzhia the npp is under its control, as its line of defense is gradually being moved to the borders of russia, the adviser to the head of the president's office, mykhailo podolyak, said this on the freedom tv channel and emphasized that the whole world openly declares that rosatom

does not have any legal force at the gas station and this station is exclusively ukrainian about the peculiarities of the operation of nuclear power plants will continue my colleagues strengthen the borders of ukraine to drones join the border guard's collection what about us we will continue to speak cars acting as the head of the state atom regulation of the chief state inspector of nuclear and radiation of the security of ukraine, we already know on the connection, we welcome you, olezh, congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes. so, the first question , please tell me what happened in general with the atomic generation of ukraine after the missile attack on november 23, and why did it shut

down ? nuclear power plants were automatically disconnected from the power grid, the consumption of nuclear power plants was transferred from standby diesel power plants and, accordingly, thus e-e all nine working eight of the nine available power units were disconnected from energy e-e violations between the conditions of safe operation of the equipment did not occur radiation situation radiation condition in the territory of the sites of nuclear power plants within the norm without changes e-e in as the energy system of ukraine stabilizes, the operation of nuclear power units is gradually being restored and currently

we have three nuclear power plants that are connected to the power grid and currently produce electricity zaporizhzhia atomic power station which is under the occupation of the russian invaders , it also experienced a disconnection from the power grid and backup diesel power plants were used, but currently the power supply from the power system has been restored and the diesel power plant is turned off, the same happened with the chernobyl nuclear power plant, there was also a blackout of the industrial site and e-e power supply took place for some time from e-e reserve diesel e-e power plants, currently the current has also been restored, and accordingly, diesel shutdowns first

in the entire history of eh happened in such a way that eh not a single nuclear power plant of ukraine did not give eh current to the energy systems of ukraine, let me remind you that somewhere about a year ago, all 15 power units in our country were on the network and, accordingly, the output was at the level of 12 uh, thousands of uh mw of electrical energy, and for now, uh, this was uh, a case, let's say it like that, and how dangerous are such emergency shutdowns for nuclear power plants? work emergency protection is an initial event, a potential

initial event for accidents, and accordingly such an event is considered in the safety analysis reports of each power unit, i.e. if there is no operation of emergency protection, then accordingly there is no initial event, which means that transient processes are generally included in the increase in the probability of my equipment and, accordingly, errors, as the probability of staff errors also increases, at the same time, the power units are stable enough and, accordingly, our personnel meets the norms of the rules, which means that the regular training and such an event does not have a significant impact on the state of safety of power units of ukrainian nuclear power plants in relation to storage facilities, so we

operate a dry type storage facility at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, and accordingly, in the chernobyl exclusion zone, a centralized storage facility means de-energization it does not actually affect the state of let's say the removal of heat from the nuclear fuel of the conditions of dry storage. and there really is a different system there, which means they provide radiation control there and so on, which are affected by it, but it does not affect the state of the given material directly. and as for the fuel that is used, nuclear heating that is in the holding pools, then uh, let’s say that the time reserve for, let’s say, some irreversible processes. it is quite large, and such means that they are not jets, in fact they are not either affect the state of safety of the spent nuclear field with

vector basins of waste that storage facilities at chernobyl eu and this is a storage facility for a spent nuclear circuit for the first time, there is already enough fuel there, which means low temperatures and accordingly, the estimates were still around a month, it can be operated without let's say that with the current state, it is so accurate a-a well, if we talk about the consequences, did the infrastructure damage occur as a result of the missile strike, after all, the nuclear power plant, because we talked about it in the context of the zaporizhzhia station but to what extent, if they are, to what extent can they be critical in the future with regard to the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, we maintain contact with colleagues from the permanent observer mission and, accordingly, with the operator of the ukrainian nuclear power plants

of power plants is na as the energy of e-e is the regulatory body for nuclear and radiation safety and according to the available data, let's say that the equipment that directly affects safety is not damaged and, accordingly, as a result of the artillery shelling that took place in the past, last weekend at the zaporizhzhya npp so, accordingly , the infrastructure was damaged, but from the point of view of the impact on traditional nuclear safety, the damage is minimal. in the field of attention and to have, including in the context of the fact that the russians have established themselves there quite powerfully, but many have repeatedly demanded from russia to withdraw these very soldiers from the territory, is there any progress in this matter, perhaps because news is constantly arriving that they are not what you

on the contrary, they are thinking of leaving, they are trying to gain a stronger foothold there. thank you for the question, we are , respectively. nuclear energy of ukraine and it actually ignores the decisions of the international nuclear community which call on the russian federation to stop these actions to withdraw its troops from the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and hand it over to the full control of ukraine, but this does not stop russia and it continues to cause damage to of the negotiations that are currently underway, i am on let's say between the general director of agates and the relevant

representatives of russia, i cannot comment on this, it is a political-diplomatic thing to which i, which i will not compend, since i am there on engineers, this is not my company, but the only one way to restore nuclear traditional safety at a normal level, eh, at the zaporizhzhia bus station, this is de-occupation, demilitarization and returning it to the full control of the ukrainian authorities. we thank you for commenting on other issues oleg korikov at the heads of states regarding the regulation of the chief state inspector for nuclear and radiation safety of ukraine commented on the situation around ukrainian nuclear power plants unconquered cities of ukraine is cozy kherson the pearl of the protected territories of ukraine, the city played a significant role in the creation of statehood, it became the

southern center of the ukrainian revival during the great terror, the nkvdists shot almost 2,000 citizens for nationalism, and the kherson leadership of the oun, led by bohdan bandera, actively fought against the german invaders. the whole world admires the indomitability of the kherson people, their faith in blue -yellow flag the whole world applauds the ukrainian defenders who proved that kherson invincible kherson is ukraine air force ukraine stands on the defense of the sky space of our state, highly maneuverable and mobile units destroy the enemy in the air, on land and at sea during

the war, the air force proved its loyalty to the ukrainian people, showed that neither on earth nor in the sky is occupied until there will be peace, but victory will be the genre of rule warm country, healthy care, a little under-ironed clothes are in trend this winter. thank you for helping to popularize the winning module, let's win the winter together during a

long power outage. close at hand a charged radio receiver and an additional battery for it scan the air in the fm range and listen to find a marathon of single news and listen to official messages of emergency services find out where to look for help and alternative contacts of emergency help get ready now let's defeat the darkness together oleg kostenko , advisor to the president of ukraine , joins our broadcast on economic issues, mr. olezhe, i congratulate you, let's start with a pleasant one, the european parliament supports the allocation of 18 billion euros of macro-finance in 2023 now it is up to the eurocouncil if they vote, then this

money will come to us, tell us that we have to return this money. well, first of all, i would like to say that there is no doubt that they will vote, these funds will not reach ukraine. you know that the needs for the next year are 38 billion dollars and 18 billion dollars were taken over by the european union, these are not the last figures that we will receive from the european union, because in addition to such general assistance, we will receive financial support for our budget and from the eu as a structure we will also receive funds from individual member states of the european union, such as germany. we received we received from almost all of them, or it would be more correct to say from all of them, funds in various amounts, well, in addition, we received funds that we received this year, they came in the form of most grants in the next year part of the funds

will also come in the form of grants and you in the form of a credit resource, if it concerns a credit resource, then this is a credit resource that goes, well, at the minimum possible interest, this is a loan, and this is 18 billion e.e., well, there will be technical consultation but as i understand it, part of these funds will come in the form of grants as well. it is possible, after all, to put pressure on the russian federation, because help is help. but this is already a consequence of the actions that russia caused by starting the war. of the ninth package of sanctions. in particular , mrs. rosula noted that already in this ninth package, it is possible that such new tools and mechanisms will be used. regarding the next decrease in oil prices, at least at the level of the post j7, this is a question

it is already being discussed, in your opinion, to what minimum this price can reach so that you minimize the possibilities of the budget and the economy of the russian federation. well, i would say so, regardless of the fact that. in the way that everything is progressing there, the russian federation is already losing its funds from the fact that there is even a discussion about the fact that it will be introduced oil, not just oil bach or oil bargu, from december 5th the european union will introduce it, and from december 5th it should be this ceiling and price have been introduced the so-called prague ceiling on russian oil , now they are already losing, they are losing 15-20 e-e, sometimes even 25% of what they could have received , the first, the second - this is just a public lapis that they received, and they do not even look at the bravado that is going on from moscow, they are trying to sign as many long-term contracts with a colossal discount as possible, that is, they are trying to sell their oil

in advance with a big, big discount, understanding that there will be a price limit, and then you and i will hear from the kremlin a project about that never ever we will sell our offensive to see what will happen already in december after this bargodino. regardless of what the price will be. it is 60-50. you heard the position of ukraine and president zelenskyi very clearly and he said and formulated it at the meeting of the g20. speaking. he said that our position is clear enough. we want the price of oil to be the same. the maximum price of oil should be at the level of the so-called production costs. everything else is against it . then, with this position, we could completely minimize the income of the russian federation , only the cost price was compensated, and there really would be no profit and they would

have no alternative, that is, we need to understand here in kyiv that they have, well, just public statements about what we well, there is another side of this coin, either you sell at the price at which the market will agree to buy this oil from you, or you simply conserve your wells in order to deconserve yours later wells, it will be necessary to spend not tens, but hundreds of billions of dollars, the alternative now remains . unfortunately, we remember that there is such a thing as secondary sanctions against ukraine, which help to circumvent sanctions, and there are already such agreements in russia, let's remember turkey, for example, regarding the creation of a joint gas hub, let's remember about the same third-party tankers that can also transport and export russian oil as their own. what to do with this? well, first of all, no one will be able to transport oil because oil is subjected to any chemical analysis the conclusion is that oil was, er, increased

in the end, what is already happening could be mixed until recently, according to this, it is called the new mechanism, yes. they are, that's what they call the price mechanism - it's a new mechanism , any mixture. even if there is one percent of the russian oil will be considered russian oil , the boy falls under this, i simply cannot imagine who would be in their right mind and with a healthy memory to simply try to impose additional sanctions on their own country, the only possibility is to completely cut them off from any financial income it's exactly er complex heavy sanctions specifically on the energy sector and not only the energy sector er it's just the main thing that enables the country to function and survive 40% of their state income is oil you can not allow caviar and

selling russian vodka abroad is cool and it's such a simple slap in the face of those who sell it, but 40%, but it's not 40% of the revenue part of the budget and even if the son is reduced by 10%. then this will mean that they have a hole in their budget automatically instead of those there, let's say 5%, which can be for next year. it will automatically become 10 years already. forbes article came out. and here it says that in the 9 months of the war, russia spent 82 billion specifically on the war, but according to analysts' calculations, the cost of the expenses in the fall for the war for russia has doubled and now they are spending 10 billion dollars a month, will they be able to afford it in the 23rd year? i would say yes, well, with a normal

schedule, of course they cannot afford it, and even with that schedule in which is in which they have driven themselves into, in which we are helping them simply er tighten er this noose which is already on their neck er even with this schedule they will not be able to fully finance their country the deficit will expand but when they have a deficit er it is necessary to understand that we are talking about a very specific totalitarian country, totalitarian countries like russia, they will rather reduce the amount of social support of the population, they will reduce any investments that need to be made, they will reduce everything related to life population but will increase or keep their e-e budgets at the same level
