yes, ukrainians are urged to consume electricity wisely, regardless of whether there is a deficit in the system. we are working to ensure that our consumers, ukrainians, do not have any restrictions in electricity and heat, this is our main task, our main work, and we have done everything with repairs and restoration to do everything for that , so that we survived this winter much better, we have continuous victories. with our european partners, as you know, just recently, a network of operators, the technical compliance of the energy system of ukraine with the european union transmission system was confirmed, we can be considered fully synchronized with the energy system of the european union, this gives us additional opportunities for stability, stable operation of our energy system

, the volume of possible imports was increased from 1.2 g to 1, 7, this is a large volume and such a very good tool for regulating the work of our energy system. everything depends on the level of attack, on the level of damage that the russians are planning there and what they will succeed in, we now have opportunities much larger before the import of electricity, and of course, in the event of a lack of our own resources, we can always count on... this resource , and it is definitely an additional important tool for the period, in case we have damage there, well, i will add that in ukrenergo reported that due to bad weather and hostilities , 442 settlements in ukraine still remain without electricity, adding that the most difficult situation remains in the odesa region. oleksandr kharchenko, director of the energy research center, joins: to

of our broadcast, oleksandr, good evening , my greetings, good evening, what are we doing now, you as an independent expert can say about the readiness of energy for winter, because we heard that it is more vulnerable than that year, someone new york times writes that, in general, the situation is not very optimistic, could ukraine have prepared the energy sector better for this winter, or all available opportunities for use? you know my answer. to this question sounds as follows: i sincerely believe that the energy workers of ukraine have done what they could by 120%, from the point of view to prepare the system, but what has been done is 60%, or maybe less , of what we would like to see done, and unfortunately, this is the reality in which we have to live when half of the generating capacities are destroyed, when 70% of shunting coal-fired power plants were destroyed.

destroyed, captured, damaged, when it was necessary to restore 45% of high-voltage networks, just from the ashes , so you know, when such a question sounds, i understand that a lot of work has been done, but there is still more ahead, and if we talk about the possibilities of energy for this winter , because here there was a un report, in the summer it was about the fact that ukraine is capable of generating no more than a third of the capacities it could generate that year, what can you say about this? well, as a co-author of the report, i will not argue with him, ah, so, unfortunately , the reality is what it is, we have really lost a very substantial amount of power, and all the talk about a deficit, they come from this very source, if to talk about our coal generation, which still

plays a very important role in winter and somehow covers 25-27% of consumption, then let's say during the war, the situation was very simple, something broke and we will start another power unit, no problem, we had huge reserve capacities, now we do not have any reserve capacities, now everything that works, works, and in a situation when the temperature will drop, and when the need for electricity , at the same time automatically increases from... and each degree of the target minus means a + 200 megawatt system, plus a coal-fired power unit, the system must be turned on, so somewhere by -5 -6 power units run out, this is in such a good situation, and somewhere -8 -10 can no longer be included what at all, must be included, so i'm afraid that at a temperature of -8 -10, no matter how much we want, but we will have to include certain restrictions consumers. small, not catastrophic, this

is not armageddon, this is one or two hours during peak hours without light, and no more than that, but it is quite possible, well, actually, i wanted to ask you about the fact that this deficit in the energy system was recorded even before the massive russian shelling, on november 22, it seems that they talked about it, and connected it itself with a sharp cooling, and then this deficit, he forced ukrenergo to apply emergency aid from neighboring countries, let's listen to the head of ukrenergo, i will ask a question next. we are not predicting hourly disconnections of consumers today, we expect that we will be able to cope with the forces of ukrainian generation, if they are not enough, we will watch, maybe, like yesterday, we will ask for emergency help from our neighbors, from 16 to 18 in the evening, e- eh, this is the evening consumption peak, it is also important to save from 9 to 11 in the morning, this is

the morning consumption peak, this is a very important moment, and we appeal also to the consumers once again to... they consume electricity as sparingly as possible, especially during the hours i mentioned, so it will be much easier to balance the system and of course avoid any risks of blackouts. well, actually, you mentioned that when the temperature drops, minus -10, you may have to resort to planned shutdowns, but such frugal consumption, how much does it allow you to save, of electricity for the energy system? in general, well, it can allow you to save very substantially even in a difficult situation, it can be allowed to pass without blackouts, but for this there must be a really, well, literally national scale, in ukraine, plus or minus there are a million apartments in

multi-apartment buildings, if the boiler is turned off in each apartment, this is minus-2 square meters, if in each apartment, the washing machine will be turned off, this is another minus k. if the apartments do not actively turn on the kettle and the iron during this time, each one is a kilowatt, then you and i accumulated 4-4.5 km per apartment, and this is very substantial, this very noticeable in the national scale, a million times 4,4,5 km, so we don't need power units, and this is exactly the limit, well, literally, beyond which there is either a blackout, or there is no blackout, and if the ukrainians gather. and they will save during these very peak hours, then we can go without outages, and if we will be as usual, then most likely we will have to limit. and to what extent do we depend on the help of western partners here, and what can we provide with our own efforts, because as

the head of ukrenergo mentioned, who appealed, we had to use emergency assistance from neighboring countries. well, to be honest, what i say, it takes into account the possibility of providing emergency assistance. we already needed emergency help, at minus 2 and minus 3. therefore, without emergency aid and without imports, we will, in principle, be in a very difficult situation, and problems will begin much earlier, thanks to the integration with the european network, and here ukrenergo should only congratulate the efforts that they have made for many years, realized, and here, you know, there is such a... fact that cannot be argued with, europe has recognized that ukraine absolutely meets all technical requirements and is absolutely an integrated part of the european energy system, without any discounts or advances, but this is clearly

not an unlimited resource, we have a limited amount of interconnectors, combinations of the ukrainian energy system with the european one, and unfortunately it is impossible to get anything from europe there, we have certain limitations and they will begin to feel these limitations precisely at the temperatures that i have already spoken about. mr. oleksandr, but this synchronization with the european power grids, in addition to the possibility of receiving emergency assistance, what other opportunities and prospects does it open up? well, there are several aspects, in fact, it would be much better for us not to take emergency aid, but to import electricity. because, unfortunately, emergency aid is the most expensive and the most complicated form of existence of transfers from the european system to the ukrainian one, but due to regulatory problems that cannot be solved by the ministry and the national commission for the regulation

of electricity markets and communal services, the so -called nkrr, there is a significant problem that restricts imports, and as long as it exists, ukrenergo... will be forced to perform a function both for himself and for that guy and organize emergency assistance and pay for it in a difficult time for the energy system and in any case there will be many more years of difficult time for the energy system, this deficit is not for a year , it's not this year, it's this year and next year, and a year from now, and at the same time, it is necessary to urgently build capacities that will replace those that we lost, because in two or three years we will have coal-fired power generation, coal stations, they are so old, and the youngest one is 52 years old from the kind that they will continue to die even without attacks. they are already scrap metal, there is repair after repair and again after repair, so

without replacement of capacities, without access to new technologies, to green technologies, to technologies that have a much lower carbon contribution, ukraine simply will not survive, we will have to for the next few years to radically change our energy system, there is no way out, how much does it cost? the delay from the ministry of energy and the nkr of the kp, which you are talking about, costs the budget of ukraine, because of the fact that it is not necessary to import electricity, but apply emergency shutdowns, how much more expensive? at least by 35-40%. the difference in prices, between imports under bilateral contracts and imports, request by request accident is at least 35-40%. of course. mr. oleksandr, let's get to that. moment , i saw that the european commission announced its proposal to extend

the energy emergency measures in the european union for another year, they say that the situation is better, but it is still tense, so these emergency measures will continue for another year season, and what does it mean for ukraine, or will this affect the help in any way or does it have any effect at all? well, in fact, it doesn’t have much of an effect, only in the part that the gas market is more manageable, let’s say , because these special ee, these special ee opportunities that the european commission now has, they significantly stabilize the gas market and electricity market in europe, and these actions will continue, it is good for us in the sense that we better understand what to expect on the european markets, what will happen, and accordingly it is easier for us to plan our cooperation with european countries, you see, now it a fundamentally important thing for ukraine, and interaction with neighbors both in terms of electricity

and gas is also a critically important story for us now, well, if we talk about the energy support fund of ukraine, it was created back in april 2022 , during this period there are physically about 190 million euros in accounts from private state companies from 15 countries of the world, and, but only the other day, it became known that the united states of america announced its first contribution, why so, why only after a year and a half and to whom can generally be considered as basic energy partners or sponsors of ukraine? well, to be honest, the ukraine aid fund is far from being the main tool, it's one of the tools, and in terms of the pace, the use of the money and the delivery of the aid, i can't say that it's the tool... the most effective, actually very a lot of help was provided by many

partners, and the united states, and the world bank, and the ebr and many european countries, through other channels, for example, ukrenergo received, approximately already more than a billion dollars in direct aid, on the restoration of high-voltage networks , for the restoration of autotransformers, large contributions were made by the japanese government and they were very effectively implemented by the un development program, the so-called undp, and the first autotransformers were delivered precisely through the u&dp channels, and now gas generation, the first projects are actually implemented through the channels u&dp, and the efficiency is much higher there, a lot of partners just work directly with energy companies, so there are a lot of channels here, i think. that both international partners and ukraine are feeling where it works best, and this one

the period is still ongoing, the challenges that stand, they are so unique in their scale that no system of international technical assistance, no system of international, international interactions, it was calculated neither for such volumes, nor for such complexities of projects, never in the world there was no need to restore high-voltage networks and search all over the world for dozens, dozens and dozens of high-voltage autotransformers, there has never been a need in the world for two or three years to urgently install 2 g of gas generation, and this the need ukraine now faces, these are such unique challenges that no one really understands how to solve and on which very hard and intensive work is currently underway. heard, mr. oleksandr, thank you very much, oleksandr kharchenko, director of the energy research center, was in direct contact with us.

thank you. we put an end to that. see you, as always on the svoboda live broadcast, hold on. oh, there are no potatoes, you will bring them, already, something has caught my back. i remind you, you have to eat with dr. tice's peritoneum and you get up to work again. matz with comfrey - german matz for pain. in joints and ligaments natural ointment with comfrey from dr. tys. also try dr. tice's comfrey warming cream. proven tool. this is the heart of

the leleka training center for the training of operators of unmanned aerial systems. control point. military. flying along a given route and learning to repair birds, this unmanned aircraft complex, it has two target loads, that is, two cameras, both day and night, night with a thermal imager, that is, it is possible to successfully perform combat missions both during the day and at night, that is, search enemy positions, equipment, their locations, and destruction, adjustment is also very good. vyacheslav is an experienced pilot, engaged in aeronautical development. since the beginning of the great war. leleka is currently in control, because the complexes have just arrived to his brigade, which is currently defending the eastern front. share, the situation on the front line is difficult. there are more and more airplanes in the hands of the invading troops. our enemy is a bet on a wide flow of funding, production of drones, both with internal combustion engines and electric, and

he can afford to use them simply limitless. the instructors of the center are certified specialists, who previously themselves went through military training here to fly on lelet, lelet 100, i myself first learned, studied, that qualification, more exactly how to do it with this type of proto dalit, and i am also now studying other models of the manufacturer, or what to be next more qualified, maria is the only girl in the instructor team, she joined the team three months ago. because i understood the importance of drones in today's war, how great their potential is after finishing for rescue, to search for the same mines, that's why i wanted to transfer all my strength to work with this. military personnel are trained from morning to night,

the training lasts four weeks, in one group of fifty fighters, they take off in no... in any weather, above us, above us, launch, launch, fly, say the instructors, in real combat the conditions have to be in bad weather, as well as under the influence of enemy reb, so such skills are invaluable, in order for pilots not only to be able to pilot and work with programs, but had the opportunity to return the board, in difficult material conditions. in addition to the stationary control point , the military also learns to work in a mobile one, this is as close as possible to combat conditions, often people work directly from the cars, these are tam5, t-6 volksen, and this is as close as possible, that is, the deployment time arrived at the point, in 15 minutes the complex was already stand up and start working, manages the operator training center azrail,

a former military man with considerable combat experience, has to work a lot and without days off. leleka is the most massive... complex for the armament of ukrainian defenders, so the training is ongoing. now we have encountered a problem here. they say that the ministry of defense, which orders the most complexes, does not pay for the training of the military, because the ministry finances the training of operators exclusively by state institutions. at this stage, it comes from the net profit of the company, so there are, there are certain difficulties, because you need to constantly update. complexes, to repair them, we need even more and more transport, because the number of people is not decreasing. this problem, they say in the center can be resolved, because issues with the training of border guards and national guardsmen. does not understand the ministry of digital affairs also pays for the training of pilots, for whom the birds are purchased under the drone army program. that is why experts are convinced that the synergy of the ministry of defense,

manufacturers and people's representatives is needed here. we are looking for ten-year-old artem kholodny, who disappeared in kharkiv oblast in september 2022. help find the boy, his mother asked. imagine that a woman has not seen or heard from her son for more than a year. i appeal to everyone who can see or know any information about it of my child, my son, cold, artem andreyovych. if anyone has seen or heard any information and can provide it, please do so, because the mother's heart is breaking and the thing is that artem kholodny's parents are divorced and live separately, so it happened that when the war started, the boy was with his father in the city of kupyansk, kharkiv region. on the third day of the full-scale invasion,

the city was completely occupied, and later communication was cut off there. for almost six months, mrs. olena did not have any news about her son and only in september 2022, she received a short message from him in viber. it was september, somewhere around the 10th - september of last year , the 22nd. let me remind you that last september the soldiers of the ukrainian armed forces liberated kharkiv oblast from the occupiers, and it was during this period that mrs. elena's son got in touch. of course, the woman tried to call artyom, wrote him more than one message in response, but all attempts turned out to be useless. communication with the child mysteriously broke off again, and it is still unknown where artem kholodny is now. therefore, your help is very important. look again at photo and try to remember the boy's face. he is a very active boy, fair-haired, with such a lithe physique, he should be in the fifth

grade by now, light-eyed, gray-blue eyes, active , kind, good boy. if suddenly someone saw artem cold, or knows where he might be now, do not delay and immediately call us on the hotline of the magnolia children's search service at the short number 11630. calls from any ukrainian mobile operator are free, if suddenly there is no way to call, write in chatbot of the child tracing service in telegram, any information is important. this is just one story of a missing child. in total, since the beginning of the war, we have received almost 3,000 appeals for help in the search. fortunately, most of the children have already been found, but the fate of many remains unknown, especially in the temporarily occupied territories, where the work of the police is virtually paralyzed, where it is impossible to leave and there are communication problems. everyone can help find missing children, take just

a minute of your time and go to the service's website looking for magnolia children. here you can view all the photos of the missing. who knows, maybe you will recognize someone, and in the end you will help to find them. i also want to remind you that we are continuing the search. nine-year-old nikita nikolayev from the city of rubizhna in the luhansk region. this settlement has been occupied since may of last year, but nikita disappeared already in may of this year, and in fact , nothing is known about the fate of the child for almost six months. therefore, i really hope that thanks to your concern , the boy will be found. please look carefully at the photo again and remember the face of nikita nikolaev. he has blue eyes and light blond hair. a nine-year-old child, if suddenly someone has seen nikita or knows something about his possible whereabouts, do not hesitate and dial the short

number of the magnolia children's search service 11630 from any mobile operator, calls are free, if suddenly it is not possible to call, write to the chatbot of the child search service in telegram. we have created a resource through which you can report any crime. against a child anywhere, anytime, simply go to the site and report, and we will launch all possible mechanisms to punish the criminal, stop crime ua, watch this week in the program judicial control with tatyana shustrova, applicants to the constitutional court, to whom the council of judges gave the green light, they delegate there those who.. . by representatives of the old system, and why do the candidates register property for relatives? my sister received quite a good salary from 2005 to 2013, congratulations, you.

judicial control is on the air. reorganization and reformatting of bodies is underway in ukraine judicial system. after receiving the status of a candidate for joining the european union, judicial reform is one of the main requirements for continuing ukraine's path to the eu. today we will talk about those who, with their unscrupulous behavior, are trying to derail ukraine from the intended course. but first to the news. the national anti-corruption bureau and the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office completed the investigation of the case of the judge of the brovary city and district court, volodymyr serdynskyi. the case of the servant of themis will soon be considered by the court. we will remind you of serdynskyi jumped on bribes of 400 us dollars. according to the investigation, the judge received an illegal benefit from the representative of one of the parties to the civil case for making a decision in her interests.

he received part of the money in the amount of 1. dollars earlier, when the decision was made to extort evidence in the case. while receiving the second part of the funds in the amount of $3,000 for the debt collection decision in favor of the plaintiff, serdynskyi was exposed by nabu detectives in the heat of the moment. the security service of ukraine added that during the searches , 15,600, packed in different envelopes, were seized from the suspected judge dollars of the more than 300 ukrainian judges involved in the repression of protesters who participated. in the events of the revolution of dignity, 170 are still working in the courts. as our colleagues from the investigation-info project found out, only 20 judges out of these 300 resigned voluntarily. the 53rd were dismissed for certain violations. another 16 do not administer justice, but receive a salary. in addition, 61 judges are now retired, which provides for lifetime multi-thousand monthly maintenance. most of the so-called

maidan judges remained in their posts. in spite of negative conclusions from the public integrity council, investigations by journalists and the attention of activists, these judges have successfully passed all checks and continue to make decisions and sentences. clouds hang over the constitutional court of ukraine. the office of the president seems to be trying to politicize justice and form a controlled staff of themis ministers. in the meantime, the congress of judges of ukraine gives its quota again. there is no light for unworthy candidates, if you look at the delegates from the council of judges, from the congress of judges, well, it becomes, it becomes, it becomes clear that again the judiciary shows that they are delegating there, those who are representatives of the old system, and who will do everything in order to maintain this corrupt status quo and not make any changes, this once again shows, once again shows that

the judicial system is needed. .. clean and clean, very qualitatively and very strongly. currently , there are five vacant positions in the constitutional court, three of which are to be filled by candidates based on the parliamentary quota and two candidates proposed by the congress of judges. the suitability of the proposed candidates for the position will be evaluated by an advisory group of experts. however, already of course, it will not be easy to select the worthy ones. in particular, because of many unscrupulous representatives of the judiciary in the lists proposed to the nation's experts. natalia panchenko, judge-speaker of the kyiv district administrative court, is trying to get to the constitutional court. nataliya panchenko recently ran for the post of the supreme council of justice, and natalya paichenko at that competition had questions about her property, about her family's property, in fact she did not become a member of the supreme council of justice. 10 years

in a row. in the declarations, she hid that since 2012, she has the right to use an apartment in kyiv that belongs to her mother, and she only mentioned it a year ago. in general , forgetfulness and sudden recovery of memory, judging by the declaration, accompanies natalia panchenko everywhere. in the electronic declaration for 2015, the judge indicated the right to use another apartment in kyiv since 2010, but in the paper declarations until the 15th there is not a word about this. also, in the 15th year , panchenko mentioned that she has been using an audi q7 for two years, which she had previously forgotten to mention. in addition, in natalia's declarations panchenko probably underestimated and deliberately did not indicate the value of the assets of her family members. for example, she claimed that she sold her toyota rav4 in 2008 for uah 100. there are also many questions about the capacity of family members.
