[000:00:00;00] it goes specifically, it was damaged, they went to the place. literally in a minute and a half, the shelling started and literally somewhere in the meters, so in 100, there was a gap, as i was told, of a mortar mine, and here there are only guppies and rustling on the twigs , there is no month of march. at the station, maksym was swinging like a washcloth, and he was on all fours like a dog, well, when he got into a ditch , we hid somewhere, we left the line, as we were constantly leaving and rebuilding from these parts, you have only arrived at the place and not yet

together, let's set up the car lift, and how the cassettes arrived. and at that moment viktor anatoliyovych kucherenko was wounded. the wound was unpleasant, but what can you do? i saw that the clothes were all covered in blood. i'm very glad that they provided first aid. the cabins were repainted white, but it didn't help. they were clinging to the white flag , that is, they didn’t care what to shoot at. we were from this side , the car was from this side. was begging targeted russian missile attacks on oil refineries and oil depots fit perfectly into the strategy to deprive ukraine of energy by the middle of 2023, the interventionists destroy 35 large oil depots and the largest

mpj in kremenchuk. this plant supplied ukraine with expensive fuel of ukrainian production by almost a third, even then it was clear that they were letting us down until a certain moment yes , when there will be an attempt to shake off the energy sector and the most difficult thing awaits ukraine ahead, russia is betting on the winter campaign of 2022-23 как сейчас всё это остенияше обстрелы которые идуты и всё ето остенияше обстрелы которые идуты и все еще отстрелы и отстрелы. occupation of almost the entire territory of the kharkiv region and

they are starting to move towards captured kherson, you need to continue drinking there, they beat you, you need to completely knock out the light without the light, it will be impossible to do practically nothing, it is not a problem with in the world, such consequences are uh-uh, in the flesh. well, the turning point of the war and the strikes. when these daily strikes on energy began on october 10, we saw that they hit specific uh-uh objects , understanding the consequences of such blows, and that is, it is not a random choice uh-uh they definitely wanted to black out the points to hit, but definitely not on all the channels

, they were saying that we want ukrainians to suffer, and there is no civil infrastructure in ukraine. the rest of the state born to us , yes , they ask me and not only me, all the guys ask. launch the first massive missile attack on the energy infrastructure of ukraine, we are dealing with terrorists, dozens of missiles, iranian martyrs , they are two targets, energy facilities throughout our country, the terrorists launch 84 cruise missiles of various types and 24 kamikaze drones as a result of the attack, 117 facilities and 35 residential buildings in 12 regions were damaged, while

23 people died out of 105 received aspirations , the first mass power outages began throughout the country that our operating rooms are located here, where it is extremely important when electricity is needed and by the way, this is one of our operating rooms, it is in dire need of light - it is an angiograph, a device used during coronary angiography to treat patients with acute heart attacks myocardium it requires extremely high energy consumption and power of our electricity grid and also generators , well, at that time it was a surprise for us . it was 12 difficult why because we had only one generator put into operation and its power was unfortunately not enough for the entire complex in order to cover our

energy demand, actually this is our second department where electricity is critically important because it the intensive care unit, where there are patients whose condition threatens their lives, uh, with the permission of the patient's relatives, we can come to this ward and i will show you why light is critically important in this department . ventilator. it helps the patient breathe during a blackout . we had a blackout in this department. there was a very similar patient. there were actually two of them in different wards. the device turned off. the patient stopped breathing, but hm these things are called an ambuk mask, in fact, our workers, before it was light , manually pumped air with the right currency and

the right amount in order to work the patient, but two or three minutes, believe me, and the hand starts to get tired enough minutes in our ambassadors exchanged with each other, but the patient was constantly with the help of this mask, was constantly sour with the air, this medical facility, one of almost 1200 hospital institutions of ukraine, faces a new a dark reality that still has to save the life of the patient lack of electricity in the medical facility you yourself understand it is very difficult difficult and you will not explain it to relatives later why we were not ready this is one of the stations that is very key from the point of view of ensuring one content and it was with

in the first days, she was very significantly damaged, first of all by missile attacks, but then also by drones, that is , she felt the full force of the attack precisely on the energy industry, this is the consequences, and unfortunately , there are a lot of such paintings in ukraine, because she herself transformers were one of the goals . yes, the substations are large. the manufacturing period of such a transformer is from 8 to a year, months to a year, in october or 22, the russians seriously damaged up to 40% of the energy infrastructure

of ukraine, the liberation of kherson a month after massive shelling will enrage the country even more , the terrorist front will necessarily destroy the entire infrastructure of ukraine already on november 15 and 23. in the country's power plants, in general, the noise of the turbines, that is, they don't work . well, it's just like that, you don't talk to each other, and then you walk in and it's quiet, the lights went out, and i realized that something happened to us, because in there has never been such a situation. well, it was unexpected, a little scary, our unit

connected to the network, then we received information that the entire station was disconnected from the power grid, that is, there was a so-called blackout. not so much as there is no light reminiscent of the station, because if there is no external power, then you have days working , uh, not one of the historical mechanisms that are at the station and the pumps that actually provide cooling and nuclear material for someone there a lot and which require constant cooling, if you can’t cool it after a while , you get a situation when you start melting active zones with the release of radioactive substances , it is already active zones, e.e. emission into the atmosphere

m.m.e.e. the nuclear thing today is an accident, the ukrainian energy system is divided into isolated islands, that is , ukraine loses the opportunity to transfer electricity from one part of the country to another , and there were certain difficulties due to the fact that there was a breakdown in this country, it may not work because it is necessary, not as it was thought out by the project, some people are afraid of the need for various failures, but i was confident, confident in the equipment that we operate, i was confident , well, in the personnel who operate all the equipment. then those motor skills, which back, for example, what we are learning all the time, they took their name, asked for the necessary mechanisms and heard the work to restore the performance of our reactors, most ukrainian cities

are in the dark. in some regions, no the transport system works, the heat, the water supply disappears , the mobile connection disappears. i always come to work. i open the door. and front-line towns from villages in ukraine, i have people with mental disabilities working for me , they didn't understand what it was, they didn't understand why there was no light , they didn't understand why there was no water on the street minus 10 here we have -10 i remember the first time

this bombardment and we started such a big program for saving savings and this gave an effect, that is, people who were limited in the consumption of light, they even when they gave light they began to save . well, we saw in terms of consumption, well, these are fantastic people. especially when we have already put it in the oven , it turns off when it is not done, the oven turns off, and that’s it, it’s not done, it’s not going anywhere , we’re putting it in bags. maybe to someone, maybe to the dogs, someone, no one, there was no one here

, so that you can give it to anyone, and i stand and cry. i collect bread in a bag and think. we threw away a little bit of dough, each loaf is our hands, this is our heart, this is our soul, and we created such a group at the ministry . we called it a high-level advisory group. where are the eu energy companies included, he says jennifer grehed that is, this is a conventional group at the level of the energy ministers of the world, almost which i gathered after each shelling and told what was happening and these were the conversations that were there . well, that's there. herman, what's there? by march 2023, the terrorist state will carry out 33 massive attacks on the energy infrastructure of ukraine

during this time, the russians will release more than a thousand missiles and drones, a quarter of them will hit the energy facilities from the first months , the decision was made thanks to the cooperation of the ministry of energy and e-e organizations of international organizations such as energy of kamianik about the creation of an energy hub for the restoration of broken e-e energy infrastructure and ensuring reliable power supply as a supply of electricity to consumers , a direct process of unloading humanitarian aid is now taking place and which has led to further humanitarian aid work in serbia the group will distribute and, accordingly, it will go to miners. thus, we will restore the damaged elements of the electrical infrastructure and restore power supply for our consumers, all energy equipment that is related in a certain way to the energy

or fuel infrastructure comes to the hub, that is, it can be pipes, generators , disconnectors, current transformers, voltage measurement , special equipment, everything that is important and used in the functioning of the fuel and energy function - $170 complex from 35 countries of the world send ukraine energy humanitarian aid worth tens of millions of euros in this hub all equipment is checked, sorted and prepared for shipment to the end consumers, we are also near one spice of the city of chernihiv, which was completely destroyed during the hostilities, was completely restored during the restoration . electrical equipment was used, which was received by

chernihiv oblenergo as a humanitarian aid , energy companies of the whole world united to help us survive, survive and restore and to stand up in the energy infrastructure we managed to get tens of hundreds of kilometers of wires , cables, hundreds of transformers of energy equipment that we were simply unable to the level of destruction was unprecedented, only thanks to this we were able to withstand almost a year of continuous hostilities and were able to restore the energy infrastructure of the mykolaiv oblast as quickly as possible, a turning point in the russians' attempt to plunge the country into darkness february 11, 2023, ukrainian nuclear engineers are doing something that will finally destroy the kremlin's plans for the success of the winter campaign today , power unit 1000 of one of our stations was turned on at night, and

it was done by our managers, employees, the collective of this station, collective as a power company there 10 in february, another massive attack on the power system took place. and on the 11th, we started up the power of the rivne station, added 1,200 megawatts to the system, this is not just a nuclear unit. blocks, we had repairs, but this schedule provided for quite large repairs, and in order to increase the output of electricity , we divided this repair into two stages, just at that critical moment, in the winter, we did the repairs, well, a fairly short period of time, at the same time, it can be in no way affected the quality of repairs and in no way affected the safety of operation of the station itself, since

then we have had no problems with electricity generation, no one spoils anyone's mood , but everyone knows very well that in the ukrainian capital there are practically no interruptions anymore, not with the world, not with electricity ukrainians do not sit without the world in the last time . время перед собой цели заставить всех страдат in ukraine, but all these efforts of tens of thousands of ukrainian energy workers could have turned out to be useless if not for one event that happened a few hours before the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine on the night of february 24, the ukrainian energy system was disconnected from the russian and belarusian

. by the way, it was necessary to ask permission from russia and belarus for this, and i was born a pit bull during that period. because our system was connected with belarus and russia, and it actually was the expectation that they would not give such a permission, but they said so easily, yes, the question is, disconnect, this is one of the tests that check the stability of the energy system of ukraine before the scheduled 2023 joining of the european network of operators of the electricity transmission system in december. the plan was to stay in isolation for three days, and now i still understand for myself that they knew that on the 23rd they were starting a war, well, that's exactly what they needed for three days, the ukrainians separated. they

for three days, they wanted to take over the city in kyiv, for three days we captured kyiv, and then , without that, they made some kind of fire show . look, we are saving those ukrainians, they separated from our mother russia, and now we are festively reuniting our energy systems after since the beginning of hostilities, ukraine decides not to return to synchronous operation with the power systems of the russian occupiers and belarusians, the ukrainian power system has actually switched to the mode of autonomous operation, and until march 16 we are in this mode, and then again with very great efforts political efforts of the president of ukraine and the ministry of energy of the minister of energy, who in fact personally constantly supervised this courier process of the agreement with the european union to connect and leave

the ukrainian energy system attached to the european norm if ukraine delayed the decision on disconnection from the power system of russia and belarus, at least for a day, the occupiers would no longer have to fire at the critical infrastructure of ukraine, the gentlemen simply turned us off or made such fluctuations in voltage and purity that our systems are constantly or would be turned off, and in fact they could completely bring us to a permanent blackout mode here, simply at the expense of the first change of switches , it would be much more difficult for us to maintain the system, that is, the risk of a blackout, well , it simply increases dramatically, but on march 16, 2022, the height of the battle for kyiv is the speedy synchronization of the ukrainian energy system with the european

one is a beast . in continental europe, for example, this is what happened on november 23, 2022, when the russians provoked a system accident that led to the shutdown of all nuclear power units of ukraine, this is how quickly our system recovered, how quickly we could get back up and running again. a feeling of pride because and also when the first blocks went up, which are the oldest in ukraine , that is, in general, and on which you work even more well, i am glad for that, in addition, becoming a part of

of the european market, ukraine gets the opportunity to sell its surplus electricity to 36 european countries . the world bank estimates the benefits of such synchronization for ukraine to be at least one and a half billion dollars every year . aimed to attract all of us without the energy of our support, but with the energy of our hearts . shelling and occupation of part of the territory ukraine has lost 55% of all generating capacity no power system in the world has experienced such losses in one season we are on a 10 kw overhead line that was damaged as a result of hostilities now behind my back as we can see the load is being placed on the damaged wire this enough of such a problem when during shelling

with shrapnel, the wire was interrupted not completely, but partially, and in order to reduce it to a heap , the brigade applies a bandage ukraine hastened to the latte of the tattered wound next winter, the russians will almost certainly use it as a weapon again, of course we will rebuild everything, but the key time is because today we are in the time interval between the heated seasons, so the key here is to replace everything we can as much as possible in order to enter the ineffective, however, the russians know the energy sector very well the system of ukraine, which until recently was still part of the post-soviet body, so they are well-known and weak points, so to get through another winter , ukrainian energy companies will have

to use non-standard engineering solutions and create backup power schemes that will provide consumers with electricity in the winter in case of damage to the main lines. if this evil empire remains until next winter , they will definitely attack energy facilities. i think they will take into account and analyze how they did it and why they didn't achieve the result but we also, uh, we also have experience. i'm sure that they don't stand a chance. if we survive this winter, then i'll be ready for that one . we'll have a generator. i'll have raw materials and i'll have one more there will be a stove i think they will help us and everything will be fine on the unicef line, we were able to get a powerful generator that was delivered to us with a capacity of 150 kw

, we installed it at the beginning of the summer of the third generator we received from our partners the swedes e-e with the help of our city government, it also helps us a lot more ready that people psychologically emotionally that we are materially we are much better prepared we have an algorithm we understand what can happen we know what to do in one or another situation it will be a surprise for us and him we are waiting for our neighbor from our floor no matter what kind of surprises you want, but we are ready, we all go to bed when we did it, let us deal with everything, then we treat it as it is and we will continue to treat it, and then you go on vacation for 30 days. yes, we have approved plans, how should we act, how should the staff act, we conducted training if, god forbid, they will use some

other weapon, the mass arrivals are therefore already united and all this has already been worked out. we are located in the mykolaiv region at a solar power plant, which used to have a capacity of about 14 mw of solar panels, the peak capacity is currently eh after the de-occupation of this territory of the solar power plant, we made an inventory, traveled around, calculated the equipment, a lot of stolen items were stolen, about 35 thousand panels were stolen at this station, the company's losses amounted to almost 2 million euros, on october 7, apparently , there was a release, the people of snyuriv will say three or four weeks before that, they began to leave en masse eh, they take away the panels, they came directly with trucks

, they cut the cable, and the solar cable is also made of square copper, copper, mainly copper, aluminum, dmytro, aluminum, even there are such places in our country, they cut it, looked at the aluminum, everything remained on the ground and that's all the copper, everything was pulled out of here as of the middle of 2023, the ukrainian energy companies, the russians caused losses of more than 11 billion dollars, the amount is not final, since there is no access to many objects in ukraine yet, this is definitely a loss, yes, definitely a loss, now i say for active, but ah, this is also a secondary loss - this is a person, our energy workers, unfortunately, we have dead people, unfortunately, we have injured people, today you see even the restoration or restoration of electricity supply in those de-occupied er

regions well, almost every week we have er we will return and rebuild everything, and we will do it. but during the great war, 119 workers of energy enterprises were killed by the shelling of the russians, more than 300 more were injured, a dangerous line. let 's say it like this, and our soldiers are safe or not, our soldiers are also dangerous if we are not idle they did not restore supplies, that is, it would not be known where the orks would be. and where would our boys be, these are the real heroes of the energy front. ukrainians are not russians. we cannot live like they are under the whip. we have endured everything and we will endure and win and
