there is a mess among those military personnel, they are morally and physically not ready for battle. they are trying to destroy us, that is why the russian national guard. and the kadirov people are there catching these deserters and there, well, they are trying to bring some kind of weapons, to establish some kind of discipline, besides, it is very important for us to cut across the land to our crimea so that the supply of some equipment and weapons was only through this semi-destroyed kerch bridge, so it seems to me that it was most appropriate to go to melitopol and then to mariupol. it seems that the following has been found out and the tool protects you, you know. many people say so, and that is already the case. there was one time when they said that we would now liberate kherson, and then there was an attack on kharkov, so oh, i think that on kharkov, that's why i think that maybe all these conversations about the fact that there will be an offensive in the south is a distracting maneuver they are saying is not denying information disinformation for the russian federation we have very limited time here i am very grateful to you for

this conversation for the fact that you found the opportunity to join our broadcast have a nice day and everything will be fine, we will definitely win this year. thank you. we believe in victory. it was oleksiy hetman, a military analyst. 2023 will be the year of restoration of the whole of ukraine in general and the energy system in particular. the board of the ukrenergo energy company has already learned how to respond to an attack as quickly as possible, so whether ukraine is threatened with a total blackout or whether it is possible to create a protective dome over energy facilities and how the saving of e-e electricity in transcarpathia saves volodymyr

kudrytskyi was asked about all this from the emergency shutdowns of the kharkiv region. year, they will meet with the light most of the damage that the enemy caused us with the last attack. electricity consumption will be minimized, i, as a responsible person, cannot promise that they will not be there at all, but we are focused on making the holidays as comfortable as possible for ukrainians . in the system and, of course, to restore damage to the main networks that we manage by ukrenergo and which is the main target

for the enemy, the country's energy system has already suffered. the energy system now and well actually what is the level of damage the level of damage is unprecedented 10 massive missile attacks and many such smaller scale ones that no one has yet experienced any energy system it is clear that a large part of the objects is either damaged or destroyed and we are not only talking here we are talking about the ukrenergo substation. unfortunately, we are also talking about thermal power plants, hydroelectric power plants, thermal power plants that produce electricity and heat for our cities , so the damage is significant and it will take months to restore the power system if not for years, but this does not mean that we can not take some such emergency measures in order to restore the

power supply to our consumers with backup power, and this is exactly what we do, we find solutions so that even with huge damage , there are broken and ragged e- e substation equipment , we still have to find a solution how to supply electricity to our consumers, but these backup power schemes also have some limits . first of all, they have a limit, they are less reliable, and this means that each subsequent the attack does not add health to our power system, it is becoming more and more difficult to repair the damage, and of course a large amount of equipment is needed to replace what is burned or broken. therefore, this task is very non-trivial and, as i said, the scale of the damage is unprecedented which means

the amount of equipment we need is also unprecedented, in which the situation is the most difficult , it depends very much on the time, on the period we are talking about, after various massive attacks , different regions find themselves in a more difficult situation than others. we remember that we have there were problems after the bombardment by kamikaze drones of odesa, we remember that after one of the massive missile attacks, we had problems in the dnipro and in the dnipropetrovsk region, recently there were problems in kyiv, now we have significant damage in the western region in the south of our country, in particular in mykolayivsk, kherson region and kharkiv region, too. and these are exactly the regions that suffered the most from mass attacks , but we are again working to fully restore the ability to supply electricity to all consumers, and we will continue

also work in parallel to ensure that as much power as possible is returned to the system so that the total electricity deficit, which exists, is minimized in other regions. it prevents you from constantly having uninterrupted light at home. why are you in kyiv? or in another city can you not have full access to electricity ? because in the electric power industry , let's say this, you can never say what power station you consume electricity from, there is a certain mix in the system, it's all mixed up and you consume it simply electric energy and the more nuclear plants are in operation and the more they can transfer electric energy to the network , the more we actually have a common resource ukrainians are now ukrainians all consumers of

electricity are literally in the same boat and we have a certain amount of electricity per everyone and from our by the way, frugal consumption also depends on the extent to which our neighbor, our fellow countryman, even in another, in another corner of the country, will be able to consume electricity for his own needs. a few days ago, you reported that received eight powerful generators from germany, and they are enough to ensure the operation of important energy facilities even in cases of massive shelling and significant damage to power grids, is the aid coming from abroad sufficient at all, and do you feel an increase in this flow of aid? we feel that our partners from western countries and, by the way, not only from western countries , are trying to find and supply us with all the

equipment they can. the problem is that we need equipment for yesterday and we cannot wait for it to be manufactured. that is, to cover such an emergency of our needs, we need to bring the equipment right now, and therefore we need to look for it somewhere or in a warehouse or remove it from those places where it is currently installed abroad and bring it to as for ukraine, is there enough of it here, i will answer in the language spoken by our uh, um , let’s say yes, the military. when they talk about the supply of weapons, they will never, for sure, have enough of this equipment again. taking into account the scale of the damage, but the volume of supplies is increasing. and this gives us the opportunity to compensate for the difference between the speed of damage and the speed of restoration of

the power system at the beginning. and so when they started the military counter-power system campaign there in october, on october 10, 2022, the rate of damage far exceeded the rate of recovery . there were many factors why this happened. our anti- aircraft defense was, well, less capable. let's just say that the scale of these shellings and the frequency of these shellings were higher to the extent that we moving towards the new year 2023, the russians were obviously exhausting their attack potential, and we, on the other hand, received additional supplies of equipment from various countries and also received funding , but a few days ago we also, if you heard signed an agreement on providing a grant of 72 million

euros to the netherlands with the assistance of the european bank for reconstruction and development and also provided us with a loan of 300 million euros for the restoration of our energy system, that is, a financial resource and the equipment is going to ukraine. we need more, but these supplies of resources are increasing, so we are gradually reaching such parity, you know, the speed of destruction is no longer so dramatically higher than the speed with which we are able to restore the power system. two months ago, i was at a meeting between our minister of energy herman hlushchenko and the european commissioner cadre simson, and that's when she personally flew to kyiv, saw the scale of the destruction, talked about how it impressed her , and promised to unite the governments of countries and representatives of business in order to provide a lot of help to ukraine, including not only

financially, but also with equipment in order to restore our electricity grid as soon as possible and somehow protect it from possible shocks . please tell me whether this wave of equipment deliveries is already certain positive effects of this visit, we are already feeling some transmission system operators there in european countries they found many pieces of equipment that have already been transferred or are currently on the way, including quite rare and rather such equipment that is quite difficult and time-consuming to manufacture, so this visit definitely had continuation, it was these were not just words, and in general, a lot of european and american and in general global energy companies have a great desire to help , the problem is that, er, no one has in

stock. as it turned out, there are not enough stocks of er, high-voltage equipment in the world for substations for power plants that can be quickly removed from this warehouse and brought back. in fact, it turned out that the stock, which for example was formed in ukrenergo of equipment and materials, was er, well, much more than most operators in the world has it so happened that before the invasion we implemented a rather large program of modernization of trunk networks and the used equipment that we decommissioned as part of this modernization instead of throwing it away there or shall we say sell it as scrap metal eh what was still alive in the technical was still to be used, we just left it in stock and now restoring our power system we

use this reserve that we had in order to, well, replace damaged units of equipment quotes on your social network page the most valuable thing that we have in our company are people stronger than russian rockets, more resistant than metal, is the company of these warriors of light enough, who literally pull entire cities and villages out of the darkness, and this powerful human resource, which, thank god, is now accumulated in the perimeters of the ukrenergo company, is actually on it. this stability of our energy system is based on what we demonstrate all over the world, i.e. we have a reserve of strength of the energy system is that our people are able to work with high risk and personal, and we understand what to work under

shelling is also a pleasure, and these people are ready to bear these personal risks in order for citizens to have light, so that the energy system can continue to work. minister of energy hermana glushchenko said that in the future energy facilities of ukraine will be updated so that they are no longer afraid , so to speak, of enemies and they were completely protected from the effects of the war. please tell me what is meant by this. is it possible to be 100% sure that there will be energy facilities, you know , under some kind of dome? tell me what it is. equipment, we know about the great war that a terrorist country during hostilities will definitely attack civilian infrastructure and among civilian infrastructure it will definitely choose electricity, which is the most basic type of critical infrastructure. therefore, now this design must

be changed so that uh critical there, nodes, critical elements of substations and power plants will be protected from these attacks, protection can never be one hundred percent, but it can be such that russia simply does not want to to attack these objects means that the effect and the degree of damage that will be caused will be so small that it simply will not make any sense. that is, we are for we must close the power system as much as possible from the possibility of its attacks somewhere over there from the caspian sea, you know such cowardly attacks from 2,000 km away , a carrier of some kind of cruise missile flies and releases it there at some substation in the kharkiv region or dnipropetrovsk region, or does

a total blockade threaten ukraine in theory? it may threaten in practice. i do not see such an immediate danger now, i believe that the worst is the worst we have already passed with these missile attacks i really hope for that at least and the dynamics of those attacks and the effect of these attacks it shows that the russians have less ability to cause any disturbances in our energy system er the energy companies have learned to prepare for these attacks it will not be possible to detail how, but we have learned how to prepare in advance and i think that there is little new, er, the russian military can demonstrate on the battlefield with the ukrainian energy system er,

it seems to me that this offensive potential will be increasingly depleted and i am sure that the russians, who lose on the conventional front, will also lose on the energy front. 2023 is the year for the energeticians, as you see it, the year of restoration, the beginning of restoration, it must be the year of our victory, which means it must be the year of restoration of our energy system, but not in the old format, but in the new one format, and already today it is necessary to start a fairly broad professional discussion about this format of the power system, what it should be, not in a year or two, but in 10-15 and 20 years, we will in the 23rd year begin to build the power system of our

of the future and in this future since we are part of europe directly in the physical plan, we are connected to our electricity grid, connected to the european ones, our vision is that ukraine will be an exporter of electricity and what is even more important, it will be significant the supplier of e-e electricity to neighboring countries and the energy security factor of these countries is not russia, which for decades supplied gas through its e-e gas pipelines and put european countries on the gas needle, but ukraine, which will be clean electric energy to provide the countries of central and eastern europe to be an important player and in this way we will integrate more and more with the european economic space

. chancellor olafsholtz used this term to germany after the full-scale attack of russia on ukraine to announce a radical turnaround in the security and politics of the country. how the war changed germany and its relations with ukraine tetiana logunova will tell kyiv and berlin met 2022 with a taste of uncertainty in germany , the chancellor has just changed instead of angela merkel, who ruled the country at the age of 16, the social democrat love scholz came to power, so in the ukrainian government offices they analyzed, predicted and wondered what to expect from the new leader, especially against the background of levies russian troops to the border with ukraine mid-february, the first official meeting between olef scholz and volodymyr zelenskyi on february 14, 10 days before russia's full-scale attack on ukraine

the german chancellor arrives in kyiv footage of the visit as if from a past life boryspil airport, the pre-war peaceful capital volodymyr zelenskyi meets a guest not familiar with khakis and in a dark business suit schultz still hopes that putin will come to his senses and the territorial integrity of ukraine is not subject to any discussion, we expect clear years from russia from the de-escalation of tension, further military aggression against ukraine will have serious political, economic and geostrategic consequences for moscow, similar threats to the kremlin were also heard through a few days after this meeting in munich at the international conference on security issues, the world is watching the largest buildup of troops on european soil since the darkest days of the cold war, events - these days can change the entire international order if russia goes on a

further invasion of ukraine by the united states together with its allies and partners will introduce unprecedented economic sanctions, the russian delegation did not fly to munich at the time, refused to participate at the last minute , ukraine was represented by president zelenskyi, he made a speech that he started like this ukraine or peace europe wants peace the world says that it does not want to fight and russia that it does not want to attack some of us are lying who is lying the witness saw already in a few days the full-scale attack of russia on ukraine became a turning point for germany and the official berlin was shocked radically changed his position on issues that seemed not even subject to discussion, for example, a decision was made to provide military aid to ukraine about a 180-degree turn to the germans, the chancellor informed the germans a few days after the russian attack

olafsholtz called an emergency meeting of the parliament, the new reality demands clear answers from us, and we gave them the day before. in the evening, we decided that germany would supply ukraine with weapons for the defense of the country. since then, the germans have handed ukraine weapons, military equipment and equipment worth more than 2 billion euros. the full list of aid provided can be found at on the official website of the german government , it is updated every week . of volley fire mars armored cars dingo howitzers thousands of shells and grenades and a state-of-the-art anti-aircraft defense complex airste which is not even in service with the bundeswehr i thanked germany for providing

the court system this is air defense airste it has shown itself very well in protecting our sky saving our people today it is really priority, we all feel it, i hope that in the near future we will be able to get a few more suitable systems a little late, but the germans heard and fell asleep the dangers after of a full-scale invasion, official berlin first suspended and then permanently abandoned the nord stream-2 gas pipeline project, the construction of which was consistently opposed by ukraine, both northern streams are currently not working germany does not receive gas from russia and does not plan to purchase it in the future, although it was the largest importer of russian fuel in the eu in a year, the germans refocused on other suppliers and built the infrastructure, for example , a few weeks ago, the town of wilhelmshaven opened the first terminal for receiving

of liquefied gas, we will not allow ourselves to be blackmailed. one tanker brings enough fuel to provide gas to 50,000 households during the year. from now on, many ships will be able to moor here in wilhelmshaven, which will supply hundreds of thousands of families and companies with gas, and we care not only about we are responsible for our european neighbors who do not have a coast , but whose economy is very closely connected with ours, and the germans have changed their long-standing skeptical position regarding the european perspective of our country, olafshorz supported granting ukraine the status of a candidate for eu membership, the chancellor announced this in june in kyiv when he arrived together with the french president

and the italian prime minister. tolts of ukraine called to invest in our state as a future member of the eu, which ukraine will certainly become. the revival, reconstruction and modernization of ukraine will truly be a challenge for generations, a challenge that requires joint the efforts of the entire international community. but if we do everything right, this challenge will also become a chance for generations. this is the second time. finally, the holodomor was recognized as a genocide of the ukrainian people. deputies of all democratic parties in the bundestag voted for it. at the same time, to the

deputies of the semi-annual parliament who approached me and congratulated me, but i am grateful not only they will become deputies, i am terribly grateful to you, all the ukrainian community, for the fact that during all these years you fought, you convinced, you demanded, the ukrainian community in germany became larger in 2022 after since the start of a full-scale war, the country has sheltered more than a million refugees from ukraine and continues to accept people. what will the relationship between ukraine and germany be like in 2023? chancellor scholz already suggested in his new year's address, most of which he devoted to the war in ukraine. schulz promised that berlin will support ukrainians as long as necessary politically and financially and most importantly, militarily, kyiv, in turn, is preparing to receive from berlin at the beginning of the year several more anti-aircraft and pct systems that will

protect our country from russian rockets hope that the germans will finally agree to the delivery of armored combat tanks leopard and bmp-mortar, by the way, representatives of several german parties have already announced that they will raise this issue in the parliament immediately after the winter vacation tetyana logunovych on frolov details german bureau of the intermarathon tv channel single news more and more news anastasia dauli is ready to talk about the most important thing, for now we are with you. we will see each other in an hour. as a child, i always dreamed of meeting characters from books. it seemed to me that they were all fictional and unattainable, everyone wrote about their strength, courage, courage, calling them warriors, those who are always on the side of truth and

justice, on the side of freedom and independence, those who hold weapons in their hands so that their children never take them they know how to fly and dream, they forget their own fears for our sake and for the sake of the warriors of our future are not characters from books real warriors are the armed forces of ukraine unbreakable unstoppable incredible we see your strength and resilience we are proud of your bravery we bow to your courage we rejoice in your

successes we compare to your patience you stand we stand, we are the fortress of bakhmut, salty as blood, iron like will for the new year, one wish is victory, russian propaganda is still manipulating us, how not to let ourselves be deceived, beware of emotional conflicts, for example , due to a lack of electricity or a language issue, excessive emotions, a sign of manipulation, the enemy provokes quarrels between ukrainians in order to sow aggression and despondency is how putinism dreams of destroying ukraine from the inside observe information hygiene do not draw into your consciousness

everything that catches your eye do not believe the enemy spread the truth to rumors. keep calm and ukraine as our mother's prayers protect us. this is how we protect our traditions. we protect our brother on the battlefield and every piece of earth in positions . you stand, we will win, we will rebuild, we will honor the memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine with a moment of silence
