[000:00:00;00] positively, because we see that it is often possible to solve some problems quickly and extremely quickly. you mentioned losses and i will clarify here. do you have any statistics on how many employees of the energy system of ukraine? yes, different units have been injured or killed since october, when these attacks started. well i can say about my company . unfortunately , six of our employees have died since the beginning of these shellings. risks and those people who work, especially at substations, repair power lines. their work is not only very difficult, but it is also very dangerous. on the contrary, have you ever had to discover traitors in your ranks, people because of

whom it is possible that this or that attack on an energy infrastructure object became it is possible that we have not found such people in our ranks, and we very carefully check the personnel , well, let's say so, before admitting people to workplaces, especially those people who, by virtue of their official position, have access to certain information, we are absolutely confident in these people, and i will tell you that if the enemy had some inside information, for example, from our company, i think that the effectiveness of these could be much higher, the way they conduct this company against the ukrainian energy system makes me think that everything - the russians do not have an understanding of the operational situation in the energy sector . returning to very practical issues related to electricity for a better

understanding of our viewers, against the background of these positive changes, are there still achievements? the need for consumers to save electricity, take it at night and change light bulbs to energy-saving ones, what do you say about that, well, i would not give up useful habits that are useful for the power system , it is meant. does not mean that we have finally won this energy battle, as i have already said, there may still be shelling , the energy equipment is in, well, not in the best condition, because practically all the large thermal ones have been damaged by shelling hydroelectric power stations, a very large number of our main substations, and it is clear that they can be damaged both as a result of shelling and simply the grandmother of this equipment

due to the fact that it is sometimes restored several times after shelling, it is clear that its reliability and failure rate are completely different from that of new equipment, so it doesn’t matter we need this energy saving, we need energy saving in order for us all to be sure that the energy system will be able to cover the current consumption and there will be no blackouts, that is, consumers are actually helping to the energy industry because they use energy resources sparingly and this appeal remains valid. where is the worst situation in which regions in those regions that suffered the most from the latest shelling ? this is the odesa region . e-e network is simply not able, as i said, to pass enough electricity to cover s-

100% consumption and we are currently working on eliminating these bottlenecks in the energy system i think that in the coming weeks we will be able to do this before our interview. of course, i went to the social networks of ukrenergo and looked at the woman on facebook . i understand that some of these comments may have lost their relevance against the background of recent positive news. that globally, these questions still remain . i would like to clarify them with you. as you said , it is very important to communicate with the population. it is a fairly common comment. how is it that there is no light for 34 hours a day throughout ukraine? for example, in the lviv region, it is practically not there at all, or the same comparison was made, for example, that in chernivtsi, electricity is often turned off, but in ivano-frankivsk, it is almost never turned off , which depends on many factors, first of all, the state of the network, there are areas where the network is really

is very badly damaged and at different stages of this campaign, we have been in a state of such repulsion of missile attacks on the power system for four months in different periods in different places , there may be problems with the delivery of electric energy consumers, that is, the first reason may be a broken network, the second reason may be the disconnection of local subscribers due to weather conditions, breakdowns in distribution networks , that is, such operational reasons, let's say so , may be directly unrelated to shelling, the third reason is that they can to be on different days different amounts of deficit in fact and er it depends on this whether the outages last there four hours after four or for example er 6 hours after

two yes that is, we may have such reasons therefore as a rule, it is related to someone with regional characteristics at a specific moment, what is happening in a specific region or in a specific even er district or town or even streets, not always blackouts, not only with restrictions or blackout schedules that are introduced sometimes it is simply related with the fact that there is some damage there in the local, for example, in the network, a comment from the facebook page of ukrenergo. explain how it is possible that there is no electricity in the apartment for more than half a day and the payments have not changed or decreased significantly, it very much depends on how electricity was consumed during the periods when there was light. because the payment depends on the number of kilowatt-hours consumed , for example, during a month and if a household consumes

200 kw/h in normal mode there and during periods when there is light there was no consumption , of course, zero consumption, but when the light is turned on, for example , you need to turn on certain household appliances there so that, well, some things have time until it is turned off, then it may be that the eyes themselves kilowatt-hours will simply be consumed in the replaced period of time, but i want to say that the tariffs for households did not change , that is, the price of electricity for citizens did not increase, so the question here is that in the amount of electricity consumed, you mentioned at the beginning that it helps a lot now is the moment for us what we import electricity is exactly what we import, that is, we buy it from our partners abroad, we will talk separately about exports, who is helping us with this now and

how long it has been going on since january, it has been going on since in january, supplies come from the european union, specifically from slovakia, but at the moment, imported electricity is mainly bought by industrial enterprises, which in this way ensure the ability to work without outages and maintain the integrity of their technological process, that is, since european electricity is twice as expensive or sometimes three times more expensive than ukrainian electricity, for that in order for imports to proceed , some kind of incentive was needed, and this incentive was provided by industrial enterprises, in fact, they caused the power outage to the need to import because it is twice as expensive for ordinary suppliers and traders to buy electricity there in europe, it is twice as expensive

to sell it, and it would be economically cheaper to give it in full. for european electricity, but at the same time work without blackouts or in the mode that is technologically more convenient for them in terms of export . studio, and then she said we started selling electricity to europe, we had very high hopes for this in terms of budget receipts , including what is the prospect of this in the future for exports, since the very beginning of these massive missile attacks, the thesis that ukrainian electricity is allegedly being exported, in my opinion thrown in by people who simply wanted to somehow promote pro-russian narratives there , not a single kwh was exported to europe

during this large-scale e-e company of the russians against our energy system for that from october 11, the relevant normative documents prohibiting this came into force. and since then, not a single kw has been exported to europe or to any other country; moreover, we started importing in january, as we have already said, and the very fact of this import belies the fact export and proves its absurdity is this argument . and as for the prospects, we started exporting when there was plenty of electricity , when there was a surplus of electricity in the summer of last year, and we really managed to earn multibillion-dollar revenues for the state and in in september, the export of electricity, after the export of the products of the agro-industrial complex, was in second place. do you remember then, of course, there were no power outages , there was enough electricity for

domestic consumption and the surplus was exported, and these were already quite solid volumes. i think that ukraine will certainly be able to provide in the future to fully cover its own consumption of electricity and become another factor of such energy security of the entire region of eastern central europe supplies clean and competitive electricity to our neighbors. but it will be possible only after we put order in the energy system, restore what the russians destroyed and provide an unconditional guarantee that all ukrainian consumers will have electricity, what is the current situation at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which is undoubtedly an important component of the ukrainian energy system, but it so happened that it ended up under the control of the russians. the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is not generating power. it does not produce electricity

. this plant is not working. it does not work as a power plant, as a manufacturer, there is a reliable supply provided by us, we provide a reliable supply of the cooling systems of assemblies with spent nuclear fuel, what are these systems, they are needed so that we are all sure that there will be no incidents at the station, so as not to violate, let's say, ensure safety of this object. therefore, it is now essentially consuming electricity and producing it. it is already mid-february and most of the winter is over . do you think that russia's attacks on the energy infrastructure will continue? now, when the day will get longer, yes, and it is obvious that it will get warmer, my personal opinion is that they will attack until they have

something to point out that there is a great sense in these strikes, uh , not from a military point of view, and from the point of view of efforts there to make some there is no long-term blockade. i am sure that they will lose this campaign. i think that it will be very painful for them to admit it, so they will continue shelling if they can, taking into account all these points that we discussed with you during the interview. as the head of ukrenergo, you are preparing for the future, for example, what will our energy system look like in the future, taking into account all these problems, and what should consumers prepare for? did you pay attention to the fact that electricity is not more expensive for consumers, or can it become more expensive in the near future, or there, for example, in in the perspective of one year from commenting on the prospects of electricity price increases for consumers, you know that

this tariff for the population is approved by a government decision within the framework of setting before itself such a mechanism as this tariff remains stable, but what awaits the energy system as a whole hm. i think that uh, the energy system awaits such a recovery, but already in a certain new state, in a new format, we will definitely talk about decentralization , and the president of ukraine talked about this a lot, and uh, we will talk about withdrawal outdated and sometimes destroyed energy capacities and their replacement with new technologies, i see that in the future of the ukrainian energy system , the energy mix will consist of nuclear energy, and there will probably even be a place for

increasing the capacity of nuclear energy, which operates in such a stable mode, the load is always the same, but this is essentially the foundation on which our energy system is based, e.e., alternative energy sources are necessarily also because, in fact , technologies such as wind and solar power plants are needed by any energy system, therefore that make it possible to lower the price, actually lower the price of the energy mix, that is , lower the cost of a kilowatt-hour for the economy , but since they are variable, you cannot predict, for sure, how much will the wind blow there or the sun shine there at every moment of time, eh, for balancing , other generating capacities are needed and which can be controlled and, if necessary, you can increase or decrease the production of electricity, we are talking about those systems of electricity storage, which are very flexible and add flexibility to the system we are talking about

the so-called peak power plants that are able to gain 100% power in a few minutes from scratch and replace solar or wind generation there when necessary, and therefore also about power plants that run on biomass on biogas, our country has a lot of potential resources for such biofuel power plants, and we must develop this direction because instead of buying expensive natural gas and actually expensive coal, which we have also imported in recent years, and at a fairly high price, reasonable is to use the resources that are available in the country. moreover , their utilization is quite insignificant now, so i think that the future is behind such a whole cocktail

of different technologies, which is also an energy system that will replace outdated or soviet centralized large power plants, which, moreover, are, unfortunately, a convenient target for the enemy. decentralization will also be a requirement for security . well, what about hope for light in every home and , of course, for the victory of ukraine. thank you very much , mr. kodretskyi, for this conversation, the marathon continues , the only news, women, you are military personnel are arranging their lives in the rifle battalion of the sumy oblast and are waiting for combat adjustment, among them there are medical radio operators who talk

about the service about the service, further in our material, until recently , a woman candidate of medical sciences worked in the operating room, now she is a military medic of the sumy rifle battalion, she received a summons a week ago, so now she says we have to get used to a new rhythm of life, if necessary, outdoors, if necessary , indoors, we provide emergency assistance , the format has changed somewhat, assistance if it was specialized care that i provided and now that's all that hurts, medical care in the army can be needed at any moment, says natalya, and in a few seconds , a woman is called, one of the men became ill. the dozen tell natalya, everyone has their own specialization. nellie suprun, for example, used to work at an ambulance station. she is used to new conditions. a woman

soldier and a woman medic are used to speaking - this is a universal woman . i had everything with her for all occasions. the military have settled in a hut nearby, inside they say it is warm, there is a stove and firewood, there will be a fireplace, there will be hot water, there will be hot water, we will have everything this room is shared by many women here, they take care of themselves, they prepare themselves, they sleep , a volunteer speaks about himself. two children, for their sake she speaks and went to serve in the battalion, my motivation is only based on the fact that this war must be won , we will definitely win it, but it cannot be passed on to our children, the battalion that

military personnel are being formed, they are adjusting their lives, training will soon be completed after combat, diana krahmato, andriy kremchenko, yevgeny abrasimov, public news, sumyshchyna, the year of our indomitability has passed, and during this year, we have better learned to stop and drive out the instincts to hate, then drink and undermine, beat down, and save, attack and liberate. and most importantly , this year we finally understood what we are worth but what the defense forces of ukraine are not capable of and we will not be stopped by a year of indomitability together to

victory tell me honestly how you are it used to be better but in general, it's normal, a person gets used to everything, we dig out my work , it's difficult, and i miss you, my family, my family left on the 24th, i started trying to meditate, i say it 's calming, imagine that you have an ax in your hands , put your palms together, make a deep smooth inhale and put your hands behind your head try to tense your hands as much as possible and press your palms together then with a strong active exhalation make a sharp movement forward as if you are trying to chop the air with an ax repeat the right several times until you feel relief add this

technique to your self-help kit more here your blood can fight. the ministry of health invites ukrainians to become blood donors. every healthy adult citizen of ukraine or a foreigner with a residence permit can become a donor . call the blood center in your city to find out about the need or register now on the platforms donor.ua or helsi. .me and plan to the nation already today i welcome this interview on social media my name is vitaly hamaden and next to me is andriy sadovy , mayor of lviv i congratulate you mr. andriy glory to ukraine give glory to the heroes

let's go back to the first days of the war, when people did not know what would happen in the future, there were certain queues, there was a certain panic, chaos, which process was the most difficult to work out and in order to stabilize the situation that was happening in the city somewhere. well, of course, the first day was a shock for everyone, whether they were prepared or not were preparing, well, no one even believed that it was possible, although six months before the war, we began preparations from the point of view of rebuilding the city's infrastructure, water supply and other things, and a month before the start of the aggression, we began to prepare places for the displaced people and we held such joint meetings online, it was mine in western ukraine, uh , we set clear norms . and we planned various

emergency situations together with the police and the military special services of the city and were looking for a solution to the issue of war, the issue of aggression , of course. this shock went away literally on the same day. at six o'clock in the morning, we already had such a hardware meeting here in the walls of the town hall , they started planning everything, well, and this whole process of building the city as one of the largest such humanitarian capitals of the world was launched, everyone saw it e- about five million ukrainians passed through lviv , we had days when more than two million lived here, and you remember very well how many international correspondents there were from the whole world and they could not understand how everything

everything works, the answer is very simple, everyone perceived the ukrainians who came here as their relatives, so people lived at home, they gave everything they had, things to all our district administrations , there were points, people brought things, clothes and such, you know, the conveyor worked and everyone contributed their contribution well, of course, queues at the military commissariats in general, no one in the world could understand this, and men who return from abroad and go to the military commissariat sign up for the war since, you say , there was already a month of full-scale invasion , they were preparing places for immigrants on the day of the war how many people could be accommodated who fled from the russian a well, later modular towns appeared, so converted they already appeared closer to the summer a of course the first step is our communal institutions we rebuilt about 500 institutions these are schools these are e-

our theaters are libraries, gyms, and here you know, we all worked together in our universities. who had how many places in the dormitories? all our teachers in schools worked politically and as psychologists, and cooked food, and helped people. to understand the new reality, do you remember these shots when all the schools, all classes, people are lying on the floors, children, women, it is not possible to fully understand the world. it seems to me that ukrainians have inside, you know, such a code of bees , self-organization, self-discipline, and people are motivated, you know, when we feel a great threat, we unite all the negatives aside, there are some disagreements and we are concentrating on what needs to be done, well , i can’t help but send one more message. i absolutely agree with what you said, but is the pricing

policy for renting housing in lviv realistic? there was some way to regulate it then, well, there is a law, and when we had complaints about the inflated price, i didn’t have a request, you can write a statement, uh , i don’t know, maybe one, maybe two, there were statements, but we processed all these calls very often, people in lviv did not understand how as a rule, the price of housing has always been high enough , i can give you hundreds of examples when hotels and people reduced the price of accommodation. well, my friends and colleagues lived in my house. therefore, this is life. in the war well, you see. even now, corruption steals here and there . i consider it looting. i don’t know. i wouldn’t put him in prison for 15 years, but for what a person earns in the war. listen , children

, i have a little one. these funds for the war, how many children did this? well, someone takes and earns. i think that such people are sinning with the funds. they talked about how much money the city allocated in general in order to settle in order to provide at least the first necessities of people who, again, fled from for all of them, hundreds of hundreds of millions, in fact, we did not start any new works in the 22nd year, we tried to finish the works that we had started even earlier, and with the funds of the contractors, we promise that we will pay them. and so the entire city budget went to stability place of so many immigrants well, the military is listening to this, the biggest area that suffered from the fact that they were taken there and given there so well, we didn't make repairs in schools there, they didn't start new roads, they didn't start any

cultural things that were planned, but new ones opened here talents you know people started to build unique shelters there, people started to make such shelters in general, they are creative and very cool . well, you see, in lviv, we built a little bit , about 6,000 shelters, so it was not easy to convince people that the basement should be cleared. and everyone was waiting for what grandmother galya will come to zhek, they will clean the basement, listen, the house is your property, then the people arrived , but in the fall, when we gave less, in the summer, they gave the cry , we need to buy stoves, and why is it necessary? yeah, and when the first arrivals came, people realized that we can be in the cold in winter at all but we to date, we have one and a half thousand stoves in our houses. listen, well, there are already some, you know, more or less , god forbid, if something happens, people will be able

to stay there for a while, or a day or two, who knows him somewhere , you can see that even today, how many attacks were there hours spent in bomb shelters and how many tomorrow is responsible, but there are people who naturally bear this responsibility, it is five percent of people. most of the people. they are more ready to be given orders, and they will think whether to carry out or not to carry out. is this after the war, a completely different system is being built , that is, people have respect for those decisions that are made and they all clearly implement them in life. i do not remember that there were any cases when someone debated strongly, there may have been
