[000:00:00;00] chabanenko, a lawyer, an expert on reforming the law enforcement and judicial system, was working now live on the espresso tv channel. well, we are informing you about the most important thing: the team of energy workers from the lviv region recently returned from a business trip to the south of ukraine, where experts restored power supply and repaired power lines as energy workers restored light in the liberated territories our correspondents know that yaroslav tsygalyk has been working as an energy engineer for 34 years now . he performs daily work and cleans high-voltage lines from branches a few days earlier brigadier yaroslav, together with other colleagues, returned from a business trip from the south of ukraine. this is how we restored, put stops , pulled cable wires, changed, well, they did. that's what seven energy workers from the komarniv district of lvivoblenergo told us

. workers restored power supply in the villages of the mykolaiv region near the city of snigurivka they say that they have never seen such destruction of energy facilities. i have visited those settlements before . we will be amazed. the poles are clearly broken. the armature, the wires are burnt, they are cut. well, there are no words. what we don’t have there. we may have one wire broken, and the whole line is torn. well, it is cut into fragments, everything is without wires . we have never met such a person here. in the streets, the residents had no light almost at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, people just survive there , you know, the water is bad, salty, well

, there is no gas, there is no way to get to those villages, the horror is one. ready for power supply, but unfortunately there is no possibility because there are neighboring areas where high-voltage lines enter and these high-voltage lines are damaged , there is currently no possibility to restore them accordingly, and there are people there who have been without electricity for almost a year and a half just 20 km away the front line starts from the snowdrift, because of this we had to work under the sounds of shelling, if the wind was from the kherson side, it was wonderful to hear the explosions , we heard them many times, but we worked mainly in the field , so there was no sense of energy to bomb us we followed special safety rules and constantly looked under our feet, because in the de-occupied

snyruvka there were traces of the russian invaders in front of us . forbidden in a week, the energy workers managed to restore two tens of kilometers of the network, and this is all thanks to fruitful cooperation with local workers. well, we worked with local workers more than once. we are on the same side they were from the second line and until the middle met with them, cooperated with them, their masters were always with us , a few days ago, two brigades of lviv energy engineers went to the south of the country , there is no shortage of people willing to go on such a business trip, because local specialists strive to gain new experience and return light to the homes of all ukrainians kateryna oliynyk oleg paliamar tv channel espresso volume of energy we will continue oleksandr kharchenko director of the energy research center joins our

broadcast mr. oleksandr greetings good day glory to ukraine, mr. oleksandr well, as if they had stabilized, they managed to stabilize the energy situation. yes, i think everyone can remember what happened a month and a half ago within the borders of our state, now it seems that they have stabilized, although the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is under the control of the enemy , well, we can talk about it in case taken separately, we understand that it is possible that not all the necessary transformer equipment has reached us, how did we manage to stabilize the situation and what are the prospects it is very difficult to outline the prospects because we understand that the enemy can strike at any time the objects of our energy infrastructure, on the one hand, it is so difficult to predict exactly how events will develop, on the other hand , it is already clear and the last attack proved once again that ukrainian energy engineers have developed absolutely clear algorithms on how to minimize the consequences of such attacks, and

yes, of course, some regions were affected, and this is definitely a very unpleasant situation. it was in odesa, in kharkiv, in zhytomyr, but in general, within the framework of the country, there was electricity sufficient generation has remained at a level that allows us to cover everything we need, everything we need now consumption and in those regions where the network has been affected and where there are now certain limits of work , the reconfiguration and restoration of networks is ongoing and, accordingly, the results of which i think moscow hoped that part of ukraine again will remain there without electricity for a long time, they absolutely did not justify themselves . here is the important news that we wanted to talk to you about: that all power units

of ukrainian nuclear power plants are completely converted to american-made fuel, this was reported in energoatom earlier, i know zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant used american -made american fuel, now seven power units use it, what is its special feature, and well , please tell me why this is important, well, first of all, it is important because we thus we are removing rosatom, a russian company that is engaged in the nuclear industry, actually works in the nuclear industry we are removing it from the ukrainian market, finally, it is from one side, and it is very important that ukraine will receive all its fuel not from russia, but from the swedish plant of the westinghouse company, and at the same time. in this way, we show how exactly it is possible to remove the russians from the european and

then the world nuclear market, because we have to hear that post-soviet reactors, reactors are built during the soviet times, in the czech republic, in other countries, they definitely need fuel for the nuclear industry. no , they don't, and ukraine has already proven this to everyone, and we need to work on ensuring that rosatom leaves the profile of the european nuclear industry market disappeared from the map of europe and as soon as possible. we even think that the russians took over the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, and that's why russian workers actually went there to study this american fuel . what do you think? i absolutely support this hypothesis , because it is well known that wessinghaus managed to make fuel that works more efficiently and longer in blocks than russian developments, and

as far as i know , rosatom employees really disabled the magate’s surveillance cameras in order to have the opportunity to inspect and so fully investigate samples of fuel assemblies from the whole nahaus, many employees of the zaporizhzhia station, who then left the territory occupied by the muscovites, spoke about this, so it is indeed a very likely hypothesis that one of the goals of the seizure of the zaporizhzhia station was also such a thing . do you think it will be possible to implement large-scale sanctions against the russian federation, because for in your opinion, this should be done additionally, you know it will be possible, but it will not happen instantly, it will be a certain process, which has already

started the process of cleaning the russian company from the market of the world nuclear market materials, this process has been launched, it has started, it is going on, but it must be recognized at the same time that many countries, including countries such as, say, france, the czech republic, and even the american seedling market, have a certain influence, and now the governments are working on it in order to stimulate their companies working in the nuclear industry to replace products currently offered by rosatom and as soon as possible to be able to authorize rosat there so that he will once again disappear from this map , returning to the topic of energy stability of ukraine, in fact, this is what we are talking about

about the fact that there are many factors that contribute to the fact that the light is not turned off, at least for ordinary consumers, ordinary citizens, and in our apartments, what are the forecasts , taking into account the fact that the cold has already come and now spring is already outside, if such a trend continues with the russian shelling as it is now in what condition will the ukrainian energy system be ? well, in any case, for the last two months, we have been restoring our energy system faster than the brain. of this attack and in fact even now they are completely local and very soon i hope that it will be possible to achieve that the blackouts stop again, this does not mean that absolutely everything is reliable and that we can generally think that there will never be a blackout again no

, unfortunately, they can be due to attacks and the fact that most of the equipment has not been replaced and it is simply repaired and repaired actually in the field in field conditions it is not such a reliable and powerful repair if we wanted it so let's be honest if you have a generator if you have a battery no no hurry to put them away completely in a far corner, don't be in a hurry to forget about them. let it be better at hand. we will do everything possible so that they are not needed. but nevertheless it is better to be in such a safer position for now. thank you very much, mr. oleksandr. finally, we would like to clarify and which the current situation with fuel, i.e. where do we import it from or do we have enough of our own capacity? well, you know, we are in a unique situation right now because, unfortunately

, due to the war, gas consumption has decreased and ukraine is now uniquely close to being to become a country that provides itself with gas and to get rid of imports, it requires certain very intense actions in order to increase the production of gas in ukraine a little more, not to let it decrease, but on the contrary to raise it, it requires certain and rather great efforts, but it is possible and if we can now become a country that provides itself with gas and does not need imports , this will be a huge step towards the complete energy independence of ukraine, and i really hope that we will take this step like this. and if we talk about gasoline and diesel fuel, well

we are supplied with gasoline and diesel fuel by import, and this is traditionally ukraine, unfortunately, it has never had much oil, and our oil reserves are very small , we have never supplied more than 20%, but at the moment we have absolutely everything we need, i would say we already have a system for transporting oil products, we have fixed mechanisms, i do not expect any shortages, i do not expect any problems with the supply of either gasoline or diesel fuel in the near future. thank you oleksandr kharchenko, director of the research center of energy, worked now on the live air of the espresso tv channel, we are informing about the most important thing, yuriy makarov should join us now, the recent chairman of the committee for the taras shevchenko national award of ukraine and he is already in touch with us, mr. yuriy, we are glad to see you on our air, we congratulate each other , sir yuri, thank you, on the one hand , we understand how difficult it was for you

to withstand very different trends, so to speak , influences, on the other hand, thank you for the detailed explanation, in particular, about your public opinion so that you expressed in in writing, but i still wanted you to tell our viewers why you resigned from the position of the most important ukrainian national award , i have no doubt that it is the main award of the country, but if you do not specify the question, you will have to break the network of the channel because i will answer for an hour or one and a half ago, if possible, a small clarification regarding the question , a small clarification, that is, as far as we understand, your resignation was connected with the untimely announcement of the results of

the shevchenko national award, not mine the resignation was announced in connection with the untimely initiative that i came up with regarding this year's additional nomination, it must be said that this year's competition in some nominations was, well, the one for which the laureates have just been published was a bit weak , in particular, in the theater nomination, there were only two performances and they passed and the first and second rounds, but they are, well, they are not the shevchenko prize, and the same is true for the visual arts, but everything is very simple, because according to the rules of the prize, only

those works that are published no later than half a year, and in this way we examined the works that were actually finished before the beginning of the great war. and during this time, during this time, and i am not talking about the fact that even in october, not everyone somehow swayed, not everyone focused that oh my god , we still have shevchenkivska the prize still exists, and that is why the competition was actually weak. and during this time, so much was done , there were so many premieres, there were so many art actions , and the art actions, on the one hand , are literally at the front in the trenches, when they come , do poets come there or well, my friend the historian kyrylo galushko went and gives lectures there, and on the other hand serhiy zhadan is in boston, tickets for several performances there are sold out in a week and there are not cheap tickets and zelensky

well, i apologize, i am not a member of volodymyr oleksandrovich zelensky's fan club, but anyway he is our supreme and he is at the council on march 9 in his office, he said one thing with which i cannot disagree between the artistic activity of ukrainians both in ukraine and in the world and how quickly our partners provide us with weapons , there is a direct connection and it seemed to me that transparent, honest, open, such an idea, we saved, you know, two awards. well, let's give them additionally, then we started. well, first of all, two types of baking objections. first

, you all turned in at the office. they bought you all, or you all are used. this is the first option, the second option, this additional nomination is dirty. there is an alleged shake-up well, yes, people think so. well, it must be reckoned with what people think, even if it seems to them that these additional nominations will shake the legitimacy of the traditional shevchenko prize and they reduce trust in society before the shevchenko prize, i would like to believe that it was very high until today, but some believe that even before that

, every year we rejected accusations that we were bought , that we are not competent, that we do not have the right to express ourselves on the topic of culture and art, etc. well, in our atmosphere of aggressive mistrust of the art shop and society as a whole, unfortunately, it turned out that this is my proposal, which the president immediately picked up at the meeting on march 9 , let's go. society did not accept it, and in fact i turned out to be a provocateur, the instigator of these quarrels, quarrels to which we are accustomed, and the only way. well, somehow, if we do not stop

it, it allows to somehow level the consequences, i had to resign in order to at least calm the public temperament, mr. temperament is a very difficult matter and it is not your fault, we just understand the current state our society is experiencing and how sharply the government reacts to everything, ralko, also an artist whom i respect left the shevchenko committee, i would just like you to ask what else might have happened, what would be worth talking about and what could be talked about well, in order not to disturb these or other possible internal processes .

sections, they are both abroad, the government is in germany and she simply physically cannot participate, she literally seems to me, lord, even before our vote , even before february 15 or well, literally these days , she sent me a pdf of her statement that she that is, that's all. long before today's scandal, tanya kochubinska informed me of this in general, well, when we extended our term of office, so , at the moment, i don't know how the members of the committee will behave. i'm not even going to get in there to somehow convince them to influence all the more so that such a fundamentally and independent public has been selected there, i say without irony that you still try

to influence them and because of that, well, at least , to connect these two, one formal, the other, an informal resignation. a quorum was being recruited, so we generally did not hesitate, although we will probably have to. well, after that departure, we will have to join the committee , but connect these events . well, we can connect anything with anything. and with paranoia, they are somewhere nearby, they are somewhere unknown where one ends and the other begins. well, everyone chooses for himself in the end what he likes best, in this sense i am a completely rational

person and you know this, i do not remember who the author is this aphorism that one should not explain with evil humor what can be explained with stupidity, well, in this case, in this case, it is rather about my stupidity, and i have already lived to the end of my life, but in some organizational and administrative matters , they are still helpless . it seems to me that i paid for it , so to speak. or maybe i don't know, maybe it's the other way around, because it's work that isn't compensated for by anything except for the annual portion of hate about the fact that, again, it's not what they gave it, it's necessary to have a separate strong roof there.

i mean not that one, yes, and this one, yes, so, well, in any case, i have submitted my powers and am ready, so to speak, to continue to bear this responsibility, i hope that it will not be before the court , mr. yuri, but this is a purely procedural issue without a presidential decree, the award cannot be final well, it was issued, it was issued, it was definitely not , as far as the publication is concerned, in fact, there was such a tradition, and every time we say, well, you can't help but speak up, at least with your relatives there, and very quickly it becomes known. the girls are already starting to give, and there are iron ladies who have been working there for many years and

take care of the procedure and tradition. and they pulled us every time. the president once. i definitely remember the 19th year, when the elections were held, they were held, it seems, in march, and the second round in april. if i'm not mistaken, well, somewhere around those dates, and then the decree was already signed, it seems, on may 7 or something. and then we published ahead of time a otherwise, the official tradition was to wait for the presidential decree, and then comment as much as you want , and that’s basically how we waited for the presidential decree, but there was no presidential decree. because i planted the pig because an additional nomination, and once an additional nomination, the decree on the shevchenko prize has

to be alone, and it was explained to me. i explained something there. the competition, including additional nominations, will end and that's it, and then we looked, we, the members of the committee, gathered in zuma, looked at the provisions, found the appropriate letter of the law, and immediately posted it. when they posted it on facebook and on the website the day before yesterday, it seems that someone again, someone, someone did not like it. someone did not like it . mykhailo nazarenko my comrade behind the maidan some people didn't like vitalik

portnikov, our colleague well , we are not loydors to be liked by everyone. some laureates in additional nominations, well, to begin with, we need to develop provisions, this is a lot of legal work, but unfortunately or fortunately, i will not take part in this. how about , for example, mr. yuryu, to be with those laureates whose names have already been made public, well, and de facto approved yes, by the shevchenko committee. here they are. kateryna oleksandrivna kompanichenko taras viktorovich berezhnyuk maksym pavlovich danyleiko severyn volodymyrovych krysko yaroslav andriyovych okhrimchuk serhii mykhailovych nazarenko mykhailo yosypovich portnikov vitaly eduar by the way

full name iryna andriivna so the last names are made public when they can receive their legitimate award, depending on that , last year they were transferred the monetary part very quickly, but there was no award, but here is the statuette of our designer, in the development of which we took part , of which i am proud of last year's laureates and this year's laureates well, how i again suggested may 22 because, well, for me personally, this date is somehow especially sacred because when i studied at the university , our comrades who ran on may 22 put flowers near the monument, they automatically flew out of the university and it was the first school for me, well, literally not yet a school, but just an excursion to ukrainianness and

ukrainian principles. so i gradually became a ukrainian, including political ones. shevchenko talked with him about the scandal related to this year's award. well, let's hope that the scandal is already over, so to speak, everything will go on a healthy course, and those who were identified by the shevchenko committee will receive their legitimate prizes, the broadcast hour is coming to an end and finally we have time to say that in four broadcasts, they collected more than 7,000 uah for our defenders in the bakhmut direction , we are collecting, let me remind you, a jeep for the third separate assault brigade, the guys work with drones they often delight us with videos and annoy us with these videos of our enemies, we are collecting 300,000. i myself

am actually going to join our collection once again , for this you need to go to the link in the lower left corner, this is a qr-code on which you need to point the camera of your phone and actually next you will go to the page of the bank that is open in order to actually drop the money, that's what i'm doing now dear tv viewers, you can bring your smartphone, if it is connected to banking, to this qr-code, so drop a couple of hryvnias or a couple of tens you are now live now yes already flew at our defenders, this collection will be closed on the air today, ulyana panasyuk and antin burkovskii worked, save thanks for being with us, stay with espresso serhiy rudenko and
