says: it is very embarrassing, it is unfortunate to realize that the deputies from the servant of the people, including, in general, all the deputies from the specialized energy committee, did nothing to prevent this disgrace. so i have the first question for you: do you agree that kudrytsky's release is a shame for ukraine? mr. andriy, let's start with you as the chairman of the committee and representative of the servant of the people. where does mrs. voytsitska have information about who did what, who didn't, most likely she doesn't have this information, and she's just, well, it's not difficult to be a facebook expert. it. do you agree that this is a shame? i agree with the fact that volodymyr kudrytskyi was quite effective in his position, and if everything depended only on me, then i think that i would not dismiss him from his position. mr. kucherenko, what do you say? thank you, well , first of all, i absolutely ask and do not advise you to name those public activists, experts, these are active people on facebook, and they are all the more understandable, their interest... is an old

story, they also really like powerful resource companies, they are also a sign of oil and gas unite around kobolev, very much an effective manager in the benches, so there is no need to call them experts, and secondly, in what i support my colleague geros, you understand, well, when a decision of such importance is considered at a stake, at a meeting of the stake of the supreme command, then it is inappropriate to put forward any claims of the committee here , i absolutely... it's not considered a disgrace, although, to be honest, i guess i think that in such a situation, replacing the head of such a core powerful energy company, well, it's a very, very risky move, and i wonder what for first of all , the commander-in-chief and the entire staff had the appropriate reasons for this, what reasons could volodymyr zelenskyi have to fire kudrytskyi, because he himself said that... there were no claims against him, and

the supervisory board did not voice claims against him, they were clearly they said that the reasons were politically motivated, and what are those reasons, mr. gerus? well, i don’t know, the supervisory board said that the reasons are motivated, you are asking me what those reasons are, perhaps then you should ask, he said, what does it mean that the reasons are politically motivated, moreover, on in my opinion, it was necessary to decipher to them what this meant. and why do they think there was such a dismissal, and i think those members who voted yes should also say that we voted to sack so-and-so, and that again raises the question of who we appoint to these the supervisory board, which is from the state, and which independent international members, because one of the international members of the supervisory board is, as far as i remember, a pole who is present in the supervisory board of ukrenergo, also supported this resignation, so they should to comment, he was not supported, because i

understand that you are asking us this question, it is easier for us to ask it, but not you, because you are representatives of the profile committee ukraine-parliamentary presidential republic, and in theory i believed that this might be a false assumption, that the parliament still has some weight, from your answer i get the impression that there is not, maybe this is a false assumption, i conclude so that we do not manipulate, the parliament has some weight, but neither the committee nor the parliament, that is what corporate reform was all about , so that minimize political influence. that we want to abandon this, that the committee appoints, i am ready for our committee to appoint a member of the directors of state-owned enterprises, but corporate reform is about something else, so that politicians do not interfere, neither in a bad sense, nor in a good sense, that politicians do not interfere and the enterprise could act autonomously, and the political process operates autonomously, so in this case, i think your words are incorrect, does the parliament have any importance or not, we adopt the draft law and i am ready for any of our decisions...

to answer, if you want us to interfere in decisions that by law we do not have the right to interfere, well, that is already a little different, and unfortunately, we do not have the authority , i repeat, to appoint or dismiss some managers of some enterprises. mr. kucherenko, what do you think about the reasons for the politically motivated decision, if they are really politically motivated, what could have forced volodymyr zelenskyi to ask for kudrytskyi's release? well , the so-called experts, whom i personally do not consider to be politically motivated, that's why comment. their emotional statements, which are panicky in the morning, there is one of the experts you showed, who is he in general, who exactly, i just don’t understand, pavlyuk is one of the energy experts, so the bottom, you called him to so mr. pavlyuk called him for espresso in the morning ukrainians to immediately prepare for the cold winter and buy generators, which i think is bordering on complete nonsense, well, this is his personal matter, and i am right here on the air, using the opportunity to appeal... to the chairman

of the committee, my colleague mr. gerus , with a proposal to invite do not cause, only just calmly invite the minister of energy, maybe some members of the supervisory board. we would simply come to the committee literally tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and in closed mode, i emphasize, in closed mode so that there is no political factor, to listen to the arguments, maybe they are not politically motivated, maybe there are absolutely some pragmatic, real arguments and reasons, i still once again, i emphasize that the decision was made at the staff, at the meeting of the staff of the supreme commander-in-chief, so if you are now trying to question the... humanity and professionalism and adequacy of the rate of the supreme chief, then excuse me, we have a very serious discussion here , then it can develop further. i do not think so, despite the fact that i am in the opposition, i hope that the stake, after all, and the president personally, make balanced decisions in such a situation, does the president have the right to demand

the resignation of kudrytskyi, well, in theory, according to the law , he has , sorry, he has the right, he has the right to consider any issue related to... energy security of the country, it does not cause sadness, but the fact that he has his point of view and the decision of the rate can be proposed to the supervisory board, well, i see absolutely no complaints there, moreover, i want, if you want to hear my personal assessment, i told for two years, including offering it to my colleague gerus and minister galushchenko during the war view certain legal norms so that it works as during martial law. i, for example, believe that there is no need for a supervisory board between the shareholders and the board, sorry, during an emergency, the partners demand it, i don't know who is there, what you demand, it seems that they demand so,

give me, the partners of their countries are not fighting a war and do not know the real situation, and by the way, i will comment on the comments of two... of all the representatives of the supervisory board, sorry, there are two who said that they are convinced how powerful shelters are built there, i have a question for them, although one of them went to a substation and analyzed the reality of these shelters, i have a question, because this is a trip, and we were leaving, mr. gerus and i were leaving, he had his own tinka, i have my own supervisory board, which also... of my countries is currently conducting a meeting and trying to influence ukrainian energy companies, for me personally in this situation there is no authority, this is my personal position, i have not yet seen an effective supervisory board in ukraine, starting with the oil and gas supervisory board

of kobolev, and how it all ended, the same , yes, and all other supervisory boards, my personal kucherenka position, write it down, the program records everything, great, please, and what is your opinion about it, i remember that you said that the president could not demand dismissal kudrytskyi, because kudrytskyi was not even at the pond, and in general, as far as i remember, you very well evaluate the work of kudrytskyi ukrenergo and the strengthening of infrastructure facilities, what ukrenergo did, is it possible that your opinion has changed, no, my opinion has not changed , i positively assess the work of volodymyr kodrytskyi, he really is. had many protections, shelters, in my opinion 36, if i am not mistaken, and this is more than all energy companies, other ukrainian ones combined, as for the rate, oleksiy yuryovych says that we are really questioning bet decision, there was no

bet decision on the release of kudrytskyi, first of all, it is legally impossible, because well, the bet is probably a military one, rather some body, it is unlikely that the bet can replace the parliament, the government and all other bodies, and as far as i i know, there was no such decision there, so this is a decision of the supervisory board, there was an exchange of opinions, opinions were directly formed, of course opinions were formed and maybe there was some discussion, but such a decision was not made there, well, if we are talking about the legal point of view, if we if we are talking about corporate governance, then even you say that this is a requirement of western partners, no, for today... this is not a requirement of western partners, for today it is a requirement of ukrainian legislation, because there is an adopted law that describes the format of corporate governance , how supervisory boards work, what decisions they make, when they can resign, when they can be appointed, and

whether we like it or not, but this is the law, it must be obeyed, if we don't like a law, it must be obeyed first, and then already in the established procedure to change it, so in this case on... our opinion, as they say, when you do not know how to act, then act according to the law, and today we should also act according to the law, and then in there will be fewer of us on the issues we are discussing today, mr. kucharenko, do you disagree with something? no, i agree, that's why i emphasize once again that i proposed to change certain provisions of the law, just as we in other laws during war simply apply certain emergency provisions, and i once again explain that it is my deep conviction that under time of war between the shareholder, which is the cabinet, the government of ukraine and the board, in my opinion, there should not be any supervisory board, especially with foreigners, who are very rare. come here and know this situation very theoretically, now, as for

the bet, i agree, probably there, we don’t know, i heard, maybe there was no decision, andrii mykhailovych, let’s contact the committee on the bet so that maybe they can show us the protocol or not, any answer will suit me, but agree that the rate, well, can have its own opinion, well, the highest leadership of the country, which is fighting, can have his opinion and propose to the supervisory board to take this opinion into account in ... his decision and the last one, i agree with mr. heros that the law in this situation should be a dogma, and indeed, if there is a law on supervisory boards, that is the supervisory board should decide the issue, but the counter question is, andrii mykhailovych, tell me, what do you think, but the supervisory board has been formed in energoatom, is it effectively managing energoatom or not, this is just your personal point of view, if possible very briefly, because in our today's topic is not energaatom, but of course give an answer, well, this is very... very short, unfortunately, the supervisory board of energatime has not been formed, because it

has not started its work, because no contracts have been signed with them, so there is nothing to comment on, their it is really necessary to form, give them time to work, i don’t know, a month, two or three, and then ask them, the supervisory board has not been formed there, unfortunately, continuing the topic of kudrytskyi’s dismissal, on the eve of a number of partners, the ambassador of the european union, representatives of the european bank for reconstruction and development, an international financial corporation, a business ombudsman... sent a letter to the prime minister, in which they asked to refrain from any personnel drastic decisions until the supervisory board is fully formed at ukrenergo, and its formation has been frozen, i feel more a year ago at the level of the minister of energy. so, i have a question: there are many experts whom you, mr. kucherenko, say you don't respect very much, but i leave it in parentheses, they are specialized experts, sorry, i don't have any others for you. right now, everyone is talking about, right now, everyone is talking about that now ukraine should wait for an answer, and she... will be very unhappy, what could this answer be from the partners, because it is said

that ukraine almost spat in their faces, mr. kucharenko, well, let's go, you know, once again, let's not discuss experts, this is my personal point of view, who should be considered an expert, let's agree, so what should we expect from ukraine from foreign partners, well , we really see who are helping ukraine to survive this winter and... and they helped the previous one, of course , i don't know where i got it from at all there was a thesis that this support would be stopped somehow, or it would be stopped or so on. i understand the diplomatic nature of ms. materneva's letter and others, but in this letter, if you read it carefully, the main thing is a request, not a demand, no one here has the right to demand anything, but the request was not to make personnel decisions for formations. the full composition of the supervisory board, which should have consisted of six or seven people,

excuse me, as of yesterday, it consisted of six people at the meeting, of which four voted for, two against, whatever it was in this the formalities, unfortunately, unfortunately, were observed, because i will tell you honestly, i am not a supporter of changing kudrytskyi in this situation, i tell you frankly, but the situation, the decision has been made, what we are discussing now, we are discussing what it can be be the answer now? for ukraine, well, it’s great to discuss, come on, the main thing is not to harm, i still didn’t understand your answer, sir, well, i think that the formulation of the question should be such as not to harm the energy security of ukraine, we don’t want to call, ukrainians and ukrainian energy system, so i suggest you choose the tone so as not to harm, i did not understand everything exactly, but well, maybe, maybe our viewers understood you better, do you think, there might be some answer, i don’t know, for example, funding restrictions, lending restrictions, grant restrictions , and other

answers that would have a negative impact on ukraine, if possible, i will really pay a little attention to the question, because you say that experts say, experts whom i respect say that there may be difficulties, and i asking to decipher what the experts meant, so it's a little difficult for me to say what they meant, well , let's... let's say, what risks can we have? well, first of all, now ukrenergo was just negotiating 100 million dollars, 100 million euros, and 500 million dollars of financing for... in order to close the debts in the so -called balancing market, this was obviously a positive step, because those energy companies , who sold their electricity to this balancing market, they would receive payment, accordingly they would be able to carry out some repairs to do, to buy fuel, i think that this current situation will at least put these projects on hold, and maybe even postpone them for some indefinite

time, secondly, for the past three years, ukrenergo has received grant aid. cash in the amount of about 20 billion hryvnias. i draw your attention to the fact that no other ukrainian energy company has received help with cash, because they do not give cash to everyone, sometimes they just give equipment, but they don't give cash, because they don't trust how this money will be spent and what at what prices for them to buy ukrenergo received uah 20 billion in real money, it did not receive a single penny from the increase in electricity tariffs for the population that took place, all at the expense of... international grants, at the expense of those uah 20 billion, they built, restored the power system and built these shelters , i think that, unfortunately, there are risks that such grant assistance for ukrenergo may decrease, to what extent it will be significant or material, it is difficult to say, but i admit that there are such risks, nevertheless, we still have to work ,

one way or another, we have to work on making this winter as relatively stable as possible. we all have to work to restore the power system, and even if there is some news that we don't like, still the issue of providing electricity to the whole country and to all consumers, it is of course the number one priority, and we have to try to work with international partners to they were helping us restore our power system. but nevertheless, you have outlined very, very specific risks. thank you very much, andriy gerus and oleksiy kucharenko, people's deputies of ukraine and representatives of the specialized energy committee. we talked about volodymyr's release. kudrytskyi, whom independent experts and independent members of the supervisory board call politically motivated. that's all for today, i urge you to subscribe to radio liberty's internet pages until tomorrow. in september, there are discounts on

welcome to the air. the program of the ukrainian voice of america chas time, me and the host oleksii kovalenko. on the morning of september 2, russia bombarded kyiv region, sumy region, and kharkiv region with cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. in kyiv , due to falling debris, three people were injured, several buildings were damaged, including schools and an islamic cultural center. in sumy, due to the russian attack on september 1 , the two-powder building of the sumy center for social and psychological rehabilitation of children was destroyed. there is damage in ten high-rise buildings. after another shelling, the us ambassador to ukraine bridget brink condemned the shelling of civilians residents from the russian side and emphasized that among the victims are seven children who were supposed to start school this week. eu ambassador to ukraine katarina maternova stressed that russian forces shelled ukrainian cities on knowledge day and called on russia to be stopped and held accountable. this morning was supposed to be filled with joyful excitement, because

the children are returning to school - instead , they woke up in terror, - writes the ambassador. in the us , analysts and politicians have renewed calls for the biden administration to lift restrictions on ukraine's use of long-range weapons. it's time to stop the senseless restrictions on ukraine - former us congressman adam kinzenger wrote on the ex network, commenting on reports of a russian ballistic missile attack in sumy. jessica berlin, a researcher at the american center for the analysis of european policy, in her comments on the shelling, blamed the administration of us president jobal. as well as chancellor of germany olaf scholz, that by forbidding strikes deep into russian territory, they are helping moscow. prime minister of the netherlands dix hoff assured ukraine of the support of his government. he stated this at a joint press conference with the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi in zaporizhzhia. during the visit, zelenskyi and skhov attended the first lesson in one of zaporizhzhia's educational institutions. training

was conducted underground due to the danger of shelling. prime minister. of the netherlands announced the allocation of a new aid package to ukraine in the amount of 200 million euros. the leaders of the two countries also discussed the approach of a just peace. zelensky emphasized the importance of anti-aircraft defense, the supply of patriot systems and missiles, and the increase of the f-16 fleet. the day before , the netherlands said that it would not introduce any restrictions on the use and range of the f-16, provided that the laws of war are respected. at the same time, restrictions on use will be abolished. exist on the part of the usa, where these f-16s are actually produced. ukraine has already received the first fighter jets from the netherlands, in general, the country promised to provide kyiv with 24 f-16 aircraft. the head of the office of the president of ukraine andriy yeremak and the minister of defense rusyam umyerov met last week with by us officials, in particular, trying to achieve the lifting of restrictions on atakoms. ukrainian defense minister rustal mumierov said that

the biden administration is still... granting his request to lift restrictions on ukraine's use of long-range weapons to strike in lyprosia. mykola gaustap yarish had the opportunity to talk about the importance of strikes deep in russia, as well as the goals of the kurdish operation, together with experts, former congressman, republican adam kinzinger, as well as ex-employee of the us national security council, alexander widman. i suggest you listen. i tend to be a bit cautious about this. the general opinion is that ukraine should have kept this living force for protection. this manpower had to be used to protect vulnerable areas in the southeast. but the reality is that if the kurdish operation pulls forces from the entire battlefield to force putin to defend not only kusk, but also bryansk and belgorod, it means that the ukrainian army

will have a better one. chances, a better balance of forces to hold or liberate the territory in ukraine, and this is a recipe for success, so if it comes to this, it will be a very, very good operation, but it is too early to judge. ukraine captured as much, or even more , russian territory than the russians captured ukrainian territories in the last year. the russians have already lost more people than the united states lost in world war ii, and they have nothing. justify it. the united states and our allies can boast of the liberation of europe and the destruction of the nazi regime and japanese expansionism. russia has nothing to show for it. so it was a success. at the same time, there are difficulties in ukraine. one of the problems that i want to constantly talk to ukrainian leaders is that they should work better on mobilization.
