memorandum on facilitating the resolution of these issues, so discussions regarding those requirements are ongoing the azern initiative must function separately, since the document on it was signed in exactly this format, and in belarus, near the border with ukraine, a line of anti-tank fortifications appeared. near melitopol otozh this is reported by the belarusian gayon, the line of teeth is located 10 km from gomel near the highway in the direction of the border with ukraine and the distance from the place of installation of these fortifications to the border with ukraine is approximately 20 km, and very close by construction work is underway on the construction of presumably fortification structures, and such strange

belarusians. well, the plane of the president of the united states, joseph biden, has already landed at the american air base in the japanese city of wakuniv, yamaguchi prefecture, quoting interfax-ukraine from yamaguchi, president biden will go to the neighboring prefecture of hiroshima, where the g7 summit will be held. it is noted that before the summit, the american leader will hold bilateral talks with the prime minister of japan fobio kishidou, adviser to the president of the united states for ixalivan, previously reported that at the meeting, the leaders will discuss , in particular, cooperation in the military, economic and energy spheres. well, let me remind you that the g7 summit will be held in hiroshima from may 19 to 21. the remnants of the wagner curtain and leopard pvk will be opened. well, these are the forces of russia the federation transfers to the bakhmut direction, the defense forces of ukraine , meanwhile, continue their gradual advance on the flanks in the bakhmut area of ​​the donetsk region. over

the past day, our soldiers managed to pass to 1 km and right there meters ahead in some areas, but at the same time the occupiers are occupying a larger and larger part of the city itself and are trying to capture it completely by throwing reinforcements there , this is an extremely important story. the process was announced by the prosecutor of the special anti-corruption prosecutor's office, a million dollars from the bribe of the so-called knyazev could not be found, part of the peas was seized by law enforcement officers from knyazev's home, his office, but full

the amount of the announced bribe in the amount of 2.2.7 million dollars failed to be discovered, the specialized prosecutor of the anti -corruption prosecutor's office, oleksandr omelchenko, in his comments to journalists, noted that after the searches , about a million dollars were undercounted as the subject of illegal profits, the story is very interesting, yes , let's move on, let's add it to our conversation now andrii zakrevsky, chairman of the board of the oil and gas association of ukraine, general director of the new folk center, good day to andrii, good day when the russians damaged energy facilities in ukraine, what is the current situation with the power supply, is there a disconnection, and because of such attacks that have recently become especially at night, we will have some kind of fan outages almost every day, as it was in the winter. well, i already warned about this that we will have outages until the end.

of the russian invasion, we will have to be ready for this and the situation can return to the winter situation at any moment. judging by what we are seeing now, we are seeing an attack on logistical infrastructure. and i want to say that if it had not happened, but the substations are there near the railway tracks or are there substations that are near internet access points for cellular communication, these are still substations that belong to our general energy system and it is clear that such attacks that have occurred during the last week when they hit substations they used to impose their own character . yes, sometimes it is more military there, but all the same

, the entire infrastructure suffers from it and there are disconnections . you see how communication is lost. changes connections yes in some cities of ukraine, well, this is what we saw, if you remember somewhere in august, in september of last year, after all, the story is so serious, well, mr. andrii, in your opinion, what can await us in the coming months, taking into account the fact that the enemy will not stop most of all its crimes , in particular it is about missile strikes on our civilian infrastructure well, just to warn people, we understand that our fighters are working out, i don't know for 100%, yes well, hits still happen look let's talk frankly. now we will soon be running until half of the summer, half of this year, and already two or three months ago, how

can we introduce some major modernization works at the university? we've heard about it. i've seen it, for example. follow me, i didn't see that, er, we now massively , er, started some projects on the automation of businesses, the automation of the city, and so on. in the winter, we talked a lot about the gas generator, and they appeared , appeared near the schools, well, many of them not connecting is the first second moment if to talk about decentralized generation, as the winter ended, it seems to me that's all and the business is over, yes, the business, i can tell you that it is now very actively installing solar panels, that's the only moment that we can see, that is, and that's the business in the majority of the majority

installs solar panels not because he is afraid of a blackout next year, but because he is more afraid of the increase in tariffs for electricity tariffs for businesses. we are now seeing one of the networks of huge supermarkets that is they had more than one solar panel on their roofs. but now 2.5 mw has been installed in the kyiv region. we can see how the solar power plants in mykolaivsk, kherson region are being destroyed, where it can reach in the mountains, and we see how huge transformers were brought to us, which was damaged last year, for that, i had to hide somewhere even the guests there , i would sort it out in order to take it around europe and ukraine, but i have the impression that it is being renewed and the generation that was before the war

and this is a mistake. so, if we find ourselves again in the winter in the same situation that we were in, if military operations continue until next year, and this can happen, it will take two medicines, so now i will start at the end of may, and we will not be fed until well, let's talk about the shortage of electricity, which is typical for summer, how will it be this year? here is good news for us. let's do it. there are statistics that, well, it doesn't sound paradoxical, but somewhere around 1000 hours a year we do not receive electricity, that is there is a disconnection, but this disconnection is very uneven, that is, in cities, electricity is usually not disconnected. but uh, in

country parcels there in different houses , etc. for each citizen of ukraine, that is, we do not observe 1000 hours , it is interesting to look at the statistics of these blockades that the russians wanted to create for us, but we will be surprised if it seems that they can be these 1000 hours well, they exceeded there times three it's just that we in the cities have finally felt it, that's what will happen in our country in the summer, we will have blackouts in our villages and in small towns, as it were, it was the first, the second moment, now there is a surplus of electricity in europe. and here is an example today, er, one of the northern countries er sold its electricity for $3 per megawatt, that is, imagine that now in the summer, er, half of the countries of europe will be

very happy to give us their electricity if we er want it in us a new nuclear power plant has been rebuilt in northern europe, one of the most powerful in northern europe. and now, after the shutdown, a very powerful power plant has started up in finland. now , solar panels are being installed all over europe in several countries, the number of installed solar power plants -e panels at exceed 60% of the last ones installed in the last 10 years . imagine that there is nothing bad from the point of view of uh, well, if there was no shortage of energy in europe, then there would be no uh

problems in addition to legislative ones regarding obtaining electricity p andrii the situation with gas, we do not know what the situation will be in europe , well, at the moment, we see a favorable drop in the price of gas, and at the moment, well, we see that the european union is trying to think of ways of their supply, and so on, and so on, i.e. they are building terminals for liquefied gas , rethinking - rethinking logistics in ukraine, there is also a story related to the use of our subsoil, so we understand that there is a certain part of the gas of our sun that could be launched now, we understand what it is high-tech works and not cheap. but maybe they would tell us something about the fact that the so-called is not a secret. let's say that in general , the situation with gas in europe is such that if europe stops pumping gas into underground storage now, there will be enough gas in europe until the spring

of next year. so that you understand the situation, i.e., europe left 58% of the remaining gas remaining in the winter. literally, in the last three weeks, it has added 64% of the remaining gas in europe. yes, this is 36% less than 100, as it was last year in the winter, but so that you understood, sometimes it happened that europe entered the winter with such a balance that it now has in storage, you find out for yourself yes , that is, it is structural already now there is enough gas, so the price of gas is falling, it is going to uh, very records have been set and everything is going to the median which we were told by the minister of energy of america, who said that the united states is ready to supply lg once in 2023 to the european market at a price of $385, an average price of $385 per 1,000 cubic meters, and we have already

seen this $385. two more lg terminals will be opened this year in addition , and in principle you can forget about russia altogether. that is, russia lost the european market last year and there is no reason for it to return it. currently, there is no europe like yourself . what they said. she thinks what should be done with these pipelines now, including through ukraine. here's how it will happen next . nord streams. the germans are generally converting - converting part of these pipes in order to make a terminal . yes, we have something about ukraine. i want to give it another month changed changed personnel in our oil and gas extraction industry because the industry is very difficult to do, but

it is unpleasant in our country. now such trends are observed, these trends are that people who have lost their feeders in the form of ukrnafta people say that many years ago they lost a feeder in the mining department, they are trying with all their might to return. well, we already had an unpleasant-unpleasant kind of case when in the winter there were still problems with payment for e-e service services, including drilling, and now we have an unsigned financial plan in e-e ukrnafta e-e ukrnafta so that you understand e-e for these shale gas technologies, the so-called yes , that is, for the technology simply identification of horizontal drilling yes, even to the technology of installation of gas compressor
