is, information is provided that the enemy is attacking, almost on all along the front , this means kupyansk, to the south of it, to borova, there are... attempts to attack, such tight battles are going on, and there are no great achievements, there are no russians, they are counterattacking from time to time, our soldiers, so there is no way to achieve such an advantage, especially they are trying to do it from the north to kupyansk, along the railway track, there is such a forest massif, near the village of senkivka, and they have been trying to pass there for more than a year now, now they have intensified these efforts, and at the same time there is shelling and airstrikes on the settlements

that are located around kupiansk, kupiansk nodal, borova, and in principle all those settlements that are in the floodplain of the oskil river, it stretches from kupyansk on south, by the way, there, the day before yesterday, it seems that a decision was made to forcibly evacuate children, with their parents, precisely the same settlements, territorial communities that are there, because the enemy is very, let's say, actively fighting and there are fears , that there will be increased shelling, there will be casualties, therefore a decision was made to force evacuation from three territorial communities. please tell me, mr. bohdan, all these people who live in the liberated territories of the kharkiv region, some of them have already been evacuated, some have returned to that kupyansk itself, if we take

the donetsk region there, a little below the intersection of three regions, lyman, for example, here are these people, how they perceive and react to a hypothetical war, after all, and where we should consider. all the options, the hypothetical possibility of the return of the occupiers and meeting them, that is, how much has it changed people, and is there any fear in this connection? well, you know, there are changes, but if we take what we had on the 24th, what we came there with, let's say, the preferences of the people of kupyan, there, the shevchenkos, other populated punks borova everything. that is closer to the luhansk region , they were, let's say, 50/50, well, i'm very approximate, and those who leaned more towards ukraine and about half of those

who, let's say so, are more of such a poor population, or among them those , who were waiting for russia, we see that some, when there was an occupation, went over to the side of russia, served the occupiers , well, villages, villages, thunderstorms, where all this happened, you have to understand that this is a vivid example, you have to understand that in those who the dead are the population of the very village that supported it ukraine, it was pro-ukrainian, let's say so, and those who didn't come, let's say, didn't participate, it's more like that, not that collaborators, but such a neutral, let's say, environment, there's a lot of it, that's why the situation is changing, of course, people... they trust ukraine more, they are more forced, it is, well, under shelling it is difficult to somehow take a different position, but still there are quite a lot of people who do not support ukraine, i know this very well, because our officers are there, there

our soldiers fight, who communicate with by the local population, so this situation is difficult, yes, without a doubt, the situation is difficult, and if we talk, for example, about information about. the readiness of the enemy to withstand this pace, which they have demonstrated in recent weeks in the kupinsky direction, for example, whether they will be ready to withstand it somewhere in the coming weeks. will it be a protracted operation on kupinsk-nodal and so on? well, the task was set for them several months ago, this is the exit and consolidation on the oskil river, that is, it is kupyansk, borova and further, to the south, i already said about it, or they will have these opportunities, well, now i have such doubts, because there is information that some parts of the brigade are from the kupyansk direction. were transferred near avdiivka

, there are heavy battles, we all know that, they suffer heavy losses and, let's say , the task was set, they are trying to fulfill it, a fresh army entered there, which replaced 25, it seems, of the russian federation the army came in, so they will do it, how successful, well, so far we see that no, history repeats itself, what happened in the spring, the story of the winter campaign is repeated, when they tried, but did not... did not achieve anything substantial, do they have reserves there, or how much are there, well, listen, this is a war with russia, we must understand that it is not for one month, it is possible for another year or two, that is, we need to prepare for this, we need to be ready for this both as a people and as a military man, and we have to understand all this. thank you, mr. bohdan, for the inclusion, bohdan tkachuk, deputy of the kharkiv district council, was in touch with us about the situation and mood. in the region,

we have a short pause now, after which we will return to the topic of the readiness of the ukrainian energy industry for another difficult , this winter period, and what the russian federation is trying to achieve by attacking the territories, either adjacent or those belonging to the khmelnytsky nuclear power plant, it was i used to have bleeding gums, inflammation of the gums. and the solution was so simple: gum problems, lacal active, lacal active actively overcomes bleeding gums, protects against periodontitis and visibly tightens the gums. lakalut - an action that you feel immediately. new: lakalut active + even more active protection. pain can become an obstacle. walking with steps not with my knees. for pain in the knees, try the long cream. dolgit cream relieves pain, reduces swelling

vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for smart and caring people, at dinner at espresso. now we will analyze the situation in ours. what has been done and what may not have been done ivan plachkov, head of the council of the public union all-ukrainian energy assembly, former minister of fuel and energy of ukraine. glory to ukraine, mr. ivan, i wish everyone good health. well, we understand that the situation in the energy sector is not easy, you know, it is such a formal, formal scheme that everyone tries to describe, but you are a very informed, competent person, so, well , we understand that when we talked with you in the spring of last year, yes, well, we roughly outlined what needs to be done so that the next season is not as difficult as it is now, on the other hand we understand that vorokh is now increasing the number of missiles that he is preparing to release at our energy facilities, the number of drones, and so on, the situation

has become more complicated, so to speak, but if possible , please reconcile the energy debit with the credit. well, let's start with the fact that after the last autumn-winter maximum , those blows that were on the energy infrastructure, we lost almost 30, if not 40%, of energy objects, that's a lot, so, thank god, in we had a large reserve, we have a very powerful power plant system, and at the same time consumption levels. in principle, our energy system was balanced, indeed in the spring, well, not even in the spring, always, the preparation for the next autumn-winter maximun should start somewhere on january 19, here we had an order from the ministry on january 19 and we are preparing for

the next one, but unfortunately, unfortunately, the management system of our energy complex is, well, not that it is imperfect, well, it is soft, soft , if you say, imperfect, today we have huge debts in the electricity market, there are tens of billions of hryvnias, for example, ukrenergo owes 40 billion, energo by atom, ukrenergo 30, and here is the situation , which simply does not allow the energy complex to work, and at the same time it was necessary to prepare, yes, the energy industry was preparing, they performed a very large amount of work, there was help european countries, the united states of america, imported a transformer and so on, repaired power units, did everything they could do

, but not what they planned, unfortunately, unfortunately, and this is due to a lack of funds, unfortunately these loans did not work 5-7 nine, well, those debts, which simply, how to say, they paralyze work with energy, and it is very strange to me why the energy committee of the verkhovna rada , the professionals there, the chairman of the financier committee, the government, no one even looks at the other side in order to derail the situation with these barges, and we are entering the winter, the autumn winter maximum in this condition, which means that we have equipment for the production of electricity, but without a reserve, as a rule, 70% of the equipment is working, 30 in

reserve, now i think we have 5, max 10% of reserve capacity, we need 30% of the volume of consumption, we have... prepared networks, we have gas, and i have already said several times that oil and gas has stabilized its work, here is the new management, they have accumulated gas, scandals there is not, there will be enough gas somewhere, unfortunately, we do not have coal, we planned 1.8 million tons by two, now, well, i think not, well, somewhere around a million, maybe a little, well, there is a million more. 100 million 200, it is not enough, and now the children are buying coal, and the energy center is a powerful company, energy, generating the company, they have money, they don’t have coal, it’s a state-owned company, but one more such moment, the central

government has changed managers six times in four years, and the energy center is a subordinate state property fund, so where is the state property fund, and where is the energy center, and where the miner energy complex is preparing for winter, this is me confirming my words that the management system, to put it mildly, is imperfect of the energy complex, eh, and eh, we enter, but we must remember that the occupiers are preparing, and we know they are preparing and all the intelligence says that they are preparing and there will be massive strikes, so i think that's why i hope that the increased anti-aircraft defense, the greatly increased anti-air... defense, well, the fact that

there will be strikes has already been confirmed, here the last ones, the situation around khmelnya, dogs yes, around the khmelnytsky nuclear power station, so the winter will be hard, we need to remember this, we need to know and we need to prepare, mr. ivan, so that once again, you know, no, we are subjected to some of... emotional swings, including our viewers, would like one more time decipher a little what threats, real threats to security russian missiles can pose for our nuclear power plants, currently operating, for operating reactors, taking into account how exactly they were designed, well, let's put it this way, we understand that the wreckage of some bpp would hardly be able to do anything about it to destroy or disrupt the technological process in some way, although there is certainly not much pleasant here.

look, everyone is comparing the situation at the chernobyl nuclear power plant, that there was a catastrophe, large-scale, universal, and so on, i just want to say right away that all nuclear power plants working at night have equipment, reactors of a completely different design, and you are completely different. they are casing, they are metal, then concrete shells and so on. even if it is an extreme case, a direct hit by a missile, a reactor compartment, and so on, yes , it is unpleasant, it can lead to a radioactive release, but in small volumes, and it will be such a local, local situation, i would say as much as possible can spread over a 30-kilometer zone, this is such a large-scale situation, there will be no, but

we can get, firstly, that the station will not work and we will have a shortage of electricity, secondly, we will have enormous costs for the maintenance of this facility, if it is now sealed and so on, and it will be if chernobyl station number two, as we maintain it now, it does not produce electricity, and we are forced by the state to spend colossal funds in order to preserve and ensure radiation safety, well, i hope so, i really hope, i believe that this is the mission of magat, i have said many times that the mission of the executive committee of the magat performs today a very important work for us and a very big , huge one, they... they are monitoring the situation, and after today, after those events on khmelnytskyi, the head of the magat grossi already

made a statement, and he gives objective information and by the government, first of all, of the united nations, a member of the united nations, and after that by the government of the european countries of the united states, if i continue, this nuclear terrorism is already so terrible. actions, then, according to rosatom, very strict sanctions will be applied, which today they are not involved, yes, there are sanctions, but they are more or less like that, today , they are loyal, but such strikes, directly on the nuclear plant, i hope there will not be a direct hit, even i believe that there will not be, but there are the electrical part, open switchgear, various devices that can be damaged and the nuclear power plant will not be able to produce electricity and we will have a deficit

one, two or three, and the fact that they will be on... to do this, there is no doubt here, and you do you remember, well, maybe you don't, but i clearly remember, september 19 was eastern economic forum in russia, and putin told such a fable, allegedly the fsb somewhere caught some group of ukrainian saboteurs who studied in great britain, who were preparing to carry out acts of sabotage in kursk. nuclear plant, and he still said that, and what do they, what do they say, they don't understand, they are provoking us to carry out attacks on nuclear facilities of ukraine, it was still september 19, and here i am already at that time, i realized that there would be such a huge attack, well, we see that we, all the countries, well,

help, there was a meeting of ministers and prime ministers ministers on this issue, the president has consulted, we get different systems that are sent to protect the immediate objects, and the power lines, networks, high voltage, are very difficult to protect, so, that's why we can have situations where we are left without electricity, you are talking about it, well, we literally have a couple of minutes left, we would like to ask you about a huge... well, so to speak, the story of 68, 68 billion hryvnias from the state audit service to ukrenergo, so to the head volodymyr kudrinsky, as we understand it, certain claims in such an amount were put forward, how can the truth be established in this case and in general, what is there? no, well, these are not complaints to the manager that

ukrainian energy lost 68 billion somewhere. i told you at the beginning that in the energy market, according to the algorithm, ukrenergo, energo atom, distribution companies, horpok, the guaranteed buyer, there is a very, as i said, very complicated algorithm, we, we adopted, the best, most complicated algorithm in the world, but unfortunately, our conditions are somehow not the same, and that's why they say to him, and you don't owe me, but you owed so much and you didn't pay there, for example, according to your obligations , and he says: yes, energatom owes me 40 billion for psso, for green energy, and so on, it goes like this, but the state audit service, it ca n't to understand this complicated process, well, there really is a problem, a very big

problem, but it is not only ukrainian. everything is interconnected here and there, and one manager cannot solve this issue, not even incrg can solve it, it is necessary to adopt appropriate legislative acts in order to prevent this from happening, and you know why it happened, i will tell you, because the state, he is the most undisciplined, this player, and today the minister of energy, the prime minister, every day issue resolutions and decrees in order not to turn off this category of consumers, that category, there are tens of thousands of consumers there, which ukrenergo cannot turn off, this is how debt is created, and then you say: what about debt, and we cannot do martial law, because the situation there is ambiguous, it is very

difficult, and i would not blame kudrytskyi in these matters. thank you, mr. ivan, ivan plachkov, the head of the council of the public union, the all-ukrainian energy assembly, the former minister of fuel and energy of our country, a person who knows about energy in ukraine, everything, if not more, borkovsky and i will say goodbye to you on this, but don't just listen koval is called, thank you christina, thank you antin, well, literally from minute to minute, we expect the meeting of the european council, the summit of the heads of state of the european union to begin. and we will learn about all the details in our issue, i hope our correspondent will join us, so please wait for 17:00 in ukraine, news time on the espresso tv channel in the iryna koval studio, greetings to all viewers.

the meeting of the european council begins in brussels.
