denys shmyhal, according to the president, to discuss energy issues, the government's work on ukraine's energy sustainability and the stability of the system's functioning. thanks to the connection of our energy system with europe, we have appropriate support from neighbors, this is important, i thank every country that... helps and thank every ukrainian family, everyone who understands the challenges of war, temperature and sparingly, rationally consumes electricity. the ministry of energy urges consumers, in the event of a shortage of electricity, to consume electricity sparingly, turn off unnecessary lights in the premises, do not turn on several powerful devices at once, if the air temperature in the room is comfortable, turn off the air conditioner and heaters, and also pull out chargers from... sockets , if they have already charged gadgets svitlana grynchuk, deputy minister of energy of ukraine, joins our broadcast. ms. svetlana, i congratulate you. good day. thank you for finding the opportunity and time to join. tell us about the situation in the power system as of this morning? yes,

attacks on energy infrastructure facilities, the probability of blackouts and shortages in ukraine's energysystem. we will talk about all this and more today with herman galushchenko, minister of energy of ukraine. mr. herman, we welcome you. i congratulate you. mr. herman, look, this week, for the first time in almost 80 days , russia massively attacked ukraine with missiles. or we can say that it was purposeful. on energy infrastructure objects and what are the consequences? well, look, in fact , our air defense system worked perfectly, and therefore there are no such massive consequences for the energy sector, but we must not forget that , unfortunately, during this week in particular, constant attacks on one of the energy facilities, where they can reach with missiles less. ranges and artillery, so in fact the attacks are happening every day, are the russians now attacking our tes, tes, and if so, in which regions? well in fact, they constantly attack the kherson region, they constantly attack the donetsk region, kharkiv region, sumy region, that is, the attacks there are repelled every

as international partners discussed the prospects for the development of the ukrainian energy sector, how ukraine entered the heating season and what decisions and actions will help create a sustainable energy system. let's see further in our story. resilience and recovery. energy issues. of ukraine's security gathered ukrainian, european and american specialists around him, they talked not only about development, but also about endurance at every level, personal, regional and national. taking into account the experience of last winter, they also discussed the provision of plan b. it is about creating, well, in fact , a parallel power system, which, in the event that the main one will be able to pick up powering critical infrastructure, i.e. water supply, heat supply, hospitals, schools, these are the basic things that provide life in communities, life in cities, and this will allow us to be sure that the plans of the enemy will not be realized. this year, ukraine's energy system is holding up even in spite of the difficult recovery, but when it cannot cope with its own forces , emergency aid is

conference is meeting for the third time and they are discussing the security and independence of ukraine's energy sector, because, as you know, especially from our experience last winter, it is very important to have a stable and independent energy supply system, because ukrainians have experienced for themselves what it is like to live without light and heat , so today we discussed how to ensure such... quality, so it is known that the government, companies and donors are working together on this and believe that, in general, such security should be ensured at two levels at once, at the national and regional level, held three discussions and the first one was devoted to the import, export and storage of electricity, and as you know, the load on the system is quite large, and how do you still manage to control all this about... hear right now , when a deficit occurs, this one is insignificant, we are able to cover it at the expense of imports from neighboring countries, as ukraine has joined, our energy system has joined the european one, we have this additional tool of coverage, an additional to

this year , the energy system of ukraine, despite the difficult restoration, is holding up, but when it is not possible to cope with its own forces, they attract emergency assistance from neighboring countries. she, of course, helps out, but her prices are not fixed, the provision is not guaranteed. so experts emphasize regulatory changes to open up commercial imports. to make such a regulatory framework within ukraine, so that we had commercial imports from europe. ukrenergo's technical task, the opening of this import, made 1,700 mw, this is the amount that would absolutely be enough to cover our needs today, the needs of our energy system, ukrainian consumers. but due to economic reasons, this import is not going. the ministry of energy assures that they have prepared for the heating season, added energy capacity to the system, and restored it. units at thermal and hydroelectric power stations, repaired a number of nuclear power units. however, experts have repeatedly said that the sector will not to restore as well as to try to... build anew, we will not restore everything that w

the future, because it strengthens it local power generation capacity and will contribute to ukraine's energypendence, after ukraine wins and peace prevails. this odesa polyclinic decided to insure itself against possible power outages due to russian shelling with the help of... solar panels, says director of the institution serhii horishchak. first, the generation of electricity and the possibility of its accumulation are combined here, because many projects have it. or only when the sun is there and it works, or only when there are batteries and they give, well, if they are charged. we have it combined models, so the sun charges our batteries, and the batteries then, if necessary, provide electricity to our facility, this project, worth about 75 thousand euros, was implemented in 2023 under a grant program within the framework of the concept of energy security of odessa with the support of german partners from the federal ministry of economic cooperation now the polyclinic actually does not depend on the supply of the regional energy company, which means that it does not depend on possible

it was targeting ukraine's energy infrastructure. yesterday national security spokesperson john kirby spoke about this and what the united states expects to see in ukraine this winter. >> last winter russia sought to destroy ukraine's critical infrastructure, the energy infrastructure and deprive the ukrainian people to access to heat and electricity at the coldest time of the year. russia tried to break the will of the ukrainian people but of course it failed. as we head into yet another winter, we expect that russia will return to this cruel tactic and again try to pursue a campaign to destroy ukraine's critical energy infrastructure. in just the last couple of days we've seen some air strikes taken by the russians that seem to be going after the kind of defensive systems that the ukrainians have in place to protect their energy infrastructure. >> so the battlefield fighting may be grinding to a halt because the winter is settic in. of course that doesn't mean the war stops. other tactics can be used as john kirby was pointing out t

energy battle. last year, russia tried to strike blackout across ukraine. missiles and iranian shahedis, which became weapons of russian terror, tried to destroy our energy industry. we will house the air force now, particularly with your support if we continue to do so. ukraine has already survived six massive enemy attacks, 50-100 rockets each, and a number of shahed raids. in november, there was even a blackout in the country. as a result of another attack, all nuclear units in the controlled territory were disabled, and the power system lost its integrity. millions of ukrainians were left without electricity. had to adapt to life with accidents. schedules of shutdowns, a new characteristic sound appeared on the streets of the cities: the noise of the generator being turned on. according to the ministry of energy, 50% of energy infrastructure, thermal power plant turbines, distribution networks and scarce transformers were affected by the shelling. in the spring and summer, energy companies conducted a large-scale repair campaign, but this winter the powe

waiting for the completion of all necessary legal procedures. 150 million euros for support of ukraine energy during the heating season, money will be provided to ukraine by the european bank for reconstruction and development. the parties signed the relevant agreements, this is a significant contribution of the partners to ukrainian energy security and stable energy supply, prime minister denys shmehal said. also, in cooperation with the edb, ukraine will rebuild trunk networks. 52 russians suddenly became good, temporarily. in occupied mariupol, as a result of the strike, the same number of occupiers were killed, more than 20 were wounded, the losses were announced by the russian media, rockets hit a russian location near the port city shopping center. together with the occupants, about 10 pieces of equipment were destroyed. now the city is looking for the so-called enemies, who were allegedly gunners, - the adviser to the mariupol mayor petro andryushchenko reports. to the shopping center. russian terrorists stopped by a few days ago, among them there were special forces, some of them were

the company has already warned that the upcoming cold snap is fraught with a shortage in ukraine's energy . to save people, we’ll find out the details from denis alekseev, he’s going live now, in the facts, denis, greetings, the residents of ukraine are quite alarmed, a harsh winter is approaching, how critical is the situation now? yes, greetings , well, the closer the cold weather gets, the more often in the ukrainian press, online publics, and in conversations in the kitchen, the word energy is simply present, and the topic is covered exclusively in a negative context, there are reasons for this, it has already arrived and ukrenergo gives it out here this: you must agree, it’s not life-affirming. the situation in the energy system remains difficult; in the morning, one of the central heating stations in the south stopped working during the day for various technical reasons five units at thermal power plants in different regions were put into emergency repairs. well, the day before, if you believe the data of the same department, due to bad weather, half a thousand settlements were cut

ukraine. to effectively destroy the enemy. military equipment must be systematically charged, stations can replace generators and provide soldiers with energy even in field conditions. our goal is uah 1.22000. we already have 364 on our account. join us, contribute to the victory of ukraine. you see the details on the screen. and i want to end this day with the following news: a powerful explosion rang out in the russian city of st. petersburg. according to eyewitnesses, a cylinder with chemicals exploded in one of the hangars during the fire. according to preliminary data, one person was injured, the local rescuers are working at the scene assigned a high threat level to the event. this is how the news team saw this day, i will be waiting for you in this studio tomorrow at 2 p.m., then don't miss vasyl zima's big broadcast. ukraine is football, our national team personifies the hopes and pride of ukrainians. espresso tv channel, together with vibet, recalled 10 significant milestones in the history of ukrainian football. there is a key moment in the project. the premium sponsor of the national team represents: united by football, stronger

tim meanwhile, for the second year in a row, russia is trying to destroy ukraine's critical energy infrastructure during the coldest time of the year. and the usa is trying to help ukraine so that russia does not achieve its goals. john kirby, a representative of the us national security council, stated this the day before at a briefing in the white house. as we approach another winter, we expect russia to return to these barbaric tactics and once again attempt to continue the campaign of destruction. energy infrastructure of ukraine. and only during the last few in recent days, we have seen several airstrikes carried out by the russians, which appear to have been aimed at hitting the air defense systems that the ukrainians have installed to protect their energy infrastructure. and again, over the weekend, they launched a powerful drone attack on kyiv and other places. we see this as a sign of things to come. for many months , we have been working hard with our ukrainian partners to prepare for such a scenario, and as you all remember, it was among the main topics of discussion when president zel

supply of humanitarian aid for the protection of civilians in winter conditions, strengthening ukraine's energysector. such news at the end of a long and productive day at the european council. the summit will continue tomorrow, the leaders will discuss migration issues, issues of the middle east, the fight against anti-semitism. lilia, i give you the floor. thank you very much, colleague, for such round-the-clock work. i remind you that our correspondent iryna ivanova was in direct contact with us from brussels with the latest news from the european council. and with that i conclude the news broadcast, i pass the floor to my colleagues and... i wish us all a good night, any gesture that warms another person can be done and this world will become a brighter place. our world project, it reminds us that we want to light fireflies, and that there will be more light, and that there will be more warmth, and a heart. there was more, and so that there would be more understanding of what is happening, and we do not want to go beyond reality in any way, we say it is the way it is, and it is okay, and it

the best example is to go back to the ukraine energy company. very some of 4 key facts about hunter binds involvement with this company and job binds involvement for a ton of buying gets put on the board of a rece most 2nd, he's not qualified to be on the board of a response. don't take my word for it, he said it himself 3rd t, as he's asked by the executive, briefly, can you weigh in with washington with dc to help alleviate the pressure we're under 3 days later, the vice president united states now present, joe biden goes to ukraine. and conditions, american tax dollars for ukraine on the firing of the prosecutor who is applying the pressure to the company. part of i was on the board of my friends, there are so confident again, is one of my colleagues, you mentioned from the room 3. what are you worried about? it's an investigation. it's open, with hardly talked about what the resolutions about, which is how we're going to proceed. and how are we going to proceed? almost exactly as my french proceeded in 2019 to their play box. their play, the

the year is 2023. was extremely difficult for ukraine, we experienced large-scale strikes on ukraine's energyastructure, lost, unfortunately, bahmud, hoped for a counterattack, and also witnessed environmental disaster after the destruction of the kakhovka hydroelectric power station. actually, there were many events, there were many statements, there were many hopes and there were many victories, in particular in the foreign and political sphere. how do you, my dear friends, rate this year, how was this year for you personally, olya? well, you know, on the one hand, we can say that this year we really endured, especially last winter, when, well, remember last winter, at that time we already had no light there, well, practically, there were always some problems, which now not even but on the other hand, you know, it's such a... a year of, to a certain extent, the loss of illusions, i guess, that you can win a war in one fell swoop, or that you can afford to rely heavily on outside forces, so i think the lesson, which we took from this year, this is what we should be, self-sufficient in many a

point here, what is the situation here, it is one thing when imports are carried out by ukraine, ukraine energy, another matter when imports can to carry out, say, commercial consumers, but in order for them to be able to do this, there must be a price limit that allows buying electricity abroad, i.e. it must not be more expensive than the price that is allowed to be purchased in ukraine, i.e. it the so-called price caps, again. we resort to terminology that is possible because it is too complicated and unclear, that is, there is room for development, but we are now really connected to the european association, a european structure that is connected, that performs the european structure of energy system operators, so according to january 1, it will start working, on december 14, we were taken there. this also opens up additional opportunities to optimize these things, but still , representatives of ukrenergo, who are often on our air, they say that it is impossible to constantly fix the generation, we we must strive for it to be modernized , and we are looking for investors, of course it is ver

the issue of ukraine's energy security has united ukrainian, european and american specialists. not only about development, but also about endurance at every level, personal, regional and national. taking into account the experience of last winter, they also discussed the provision of plan b. we are talking about the creation, well, in fact, a parallel. energetic, which in case...

started talks with ukraine, japan and others in the indo pacific stepped up too helping rebuild ukraine's energy grid to providing major military and humanitarian assistance. like us, they know that supporting ukraine is vital to showing aggressors everywhere that we will stand up to those who seek to redraw borders by force. our support has not just helped ukrainians. 90% of the security assistance we have provided to ukraine has been spent here in the united states for american businesses, workers and communities, strengthening our nation's industrial base. president putin has boasted in recent weeks that ukraine has no future. he thinks his strategy of waiting us out while sending wave after wave of young russians into a meatgrinder of his own making will pay off. on one and only one point i agree with putin -- america's ongoing support is critical to enabling ukrainians soldiers to keep up their fight, to ensure russia's war remains a strategic failure, and to continue helping ukraine move toward standing strongly on its own two feet. militarily, economically and democratically. putin is bet

from helping rebuild ukraine's energy grid to providing major military and humanitarian assistance. like us, they know that supporting ukraine is vital to showing would-with aggressors every where that we will stand the up to those that seek to redraw borders by force. our support hasn't just helped ukrainians. 90%over -- of the security assistance that we provided to ukraine has been spent here in the united states; that is in american businesses, communitie- [inaudible] our nation's defense. president putin -- [inaudible] and i quote, ukraine has no future. while sending wave after wave of young russian soldiers pay off. on one and only one point, i agree with putin. america's ongoing support is critical to enabling ukraine 's great soldiers and citizens to keep up their fight, to insure that russia's war remains a strategic failure and to help continue moving ukraine to standing strongly on it own two feet militarily, economically and and democratly. -- democratically. we have proven if long before, we will prove putin wrong again. second, we will continue to engage with china fro

sector, how ukraine entered the heating season, and what solutions and actions will help create a sustainable energy system. let's see. resilience and recovery, question. security of ukraine united ukrainian, european and american specialists. talked not only about development, but also about endurance at every level, personal, regional and national. taking into account the experience of last winter, they also discussed the provision of plan b. we are talking about the creation of, well, actually a parallel power system, which, in case the main one fails, will be able to pick up the power supply of the critical infrastructure. that is , water utilities, er, heat supply, hospitals, schools, these are the main things that provide life in communities, life in cities, and this will allow us to be sure that the plans of the enemy will not be realized. this year, the energy system of ukraine, despite the difficult restoration, is holding on, but when it is not possible to cope with its own forces, emergency aid is brought in from neighboring countries. it helps, of course, but its prices are not fixed, th

energy resources was indicated, it said that for all categories of consumers on the territory of ukraine, energymped for visa-free, they jumped up gas 10 times more expensive, you wanted it, yes, that is , they didn’t listen to azarov, who said it would kill ukraine, they thought without visas, but essentially without visas is a procedure, it began back in 2007 with... money, and not without visas, which they gave to ukrainians without money, and the same thing now, that is, the first carrot was in 2004, but they hung it , then, later, try now, then you will have a fairy tale, then in in the fourteenth year they hung a new carrot , they probably already limped, here is a new carrot, also long-lasting, already in ukraine, that is, as soon as this decision was made, in ukraine they are already saying that euro-optimism will very soon be replaced by euroscepticism, because everyone will understand that europe will make a bunch of demands, because of these... mom, mommy, mommy is back, it’s not mom, it’s another aunt, she transported furniture for a man, in general, he has children, two daughters, a

official action as vice-president then benefited his son who admitted he had no experience in ukraine energy or gas but was being paid millions of dollars and admitted he was an addict at that time. how was that not his involvement? because he seems very involved in it. >> no, we think it certainly was and you're exactly right. he leverages your tax dollars, the people i represent their tax dollars, the american people's tax money he leverages that to get an outcome that will benefit the company his son sits on the board of. that all happened as clear as day. i always say there are four fundamental facts here, fact number one hunter biden gets put on the board of burisma, fact number two he's not qualified he said so himself said he got the job because of his last name which was confirmed by his business partner devon archer when we deposed him this past summer. fact number three he's asked to relieve the pressure they're under from the prosecutor. fact number four, he goes there, gets the prosecuteer fired but uses our tax money to accomplish that. again old as time the story's as old as it

official, action-presi as vice president then benefited his son, who admittedd had no experience in ukraine energy, oil or gas. ukraine but was being paid millions of dollars and admitted he was an addict. at the timane. ot his so how is that not his involvement? because he seems very involvedit in it? and o, we think we think it certainly and you're exactly right. he leverages your tax dollars. the people i represent ney he their tax dollars, the american people's tax money. he leverages that to get aes thn that will benefit the company. his son sits on the boar i al of that all happen as clear as day. and i always say therere are fo fundamental facts here. fact number 100. biden gets put on that board of burismabi of . fact number two, he's notd qualified. he said so himself. heo himshe said he got the job e of his last name, which, by the way, was confirmed by hid bys business partner, devon archer, when we deposed him this past summer. fact numbe r three as you pointsked t out, he's asked to relieve the pressure that they're under from the prosecutor. number four, he goes there, gets the prose

ukraine to pass the winter season without any problems. slovakia, poland, romania, moldova. however , sometimes non-trivial situations occur. thus , on the night of christmas, the polish operator of the energy system turned to ukraine for emergency assistance. however, the need was not to provide. of ukrainian electricity, on the contrary, holidays in poland resulted in an excess of 3 gw/hour, which was taken by ukraine. serhii lukyanchuk, analyst, serhiy, welcome to our studio. i really want us to constantly, when talking about energy, about electricity, they were engaged in ilikbes, because it was a surprise to anyone that an excess of energy could be a problem, and ukraine is even being asked to take these additional kilowatt-hours. please explain something, the next time you will do it on the air, how it... works, why it is bad when there is a shortage, why there was a problem when ukraine had to take this electricity from poland? the power system works in such a way that it needs a balance for normal operation. between consumption and production, all the energy that produced at the same second must be consumed, that is, as much as was produced, so much was used, if the excess is a prob

his precinct , now they are tired of ukraine, probably we don’t need to think about it, and now after 24 hours of bulovych in his precinct, we can’t release our energyr campaign here... americans now now, because like ukraine it will show us, all those deputies, it is not easy to move now in america, but here, what they have arrived and they see, they do not want to wait until january, as i thought before, probably we will have to wait, for ukraine we cannot all i 've seen is this cool pack that reminds me people, it's winter now, everyone needs to be prepared, and not only the ukrainian community here feels it. but also supporters of ukraine, americans, ordinary americans who would like to see this victory, and on various televisions, the news, there is a discussion that ordinary people now support this bill, why can't we pass it here in america? well, by the way, with regard to public support, sociological polls literally appeared the day before, 50%, plausibly, american. interviewees, in particular, they express their support ukraine, is it a lot or a little, and of course, every statistic is interesting in terms of dynamics, that is, if we compa

russia is already starting something like a winter offensive, hitting ukraine’s energy resources andsituation, and biden knows about it. and, of course, zelensky same. that's why he's making this trip to the usa. western governments are waking up to the cold , hard truth. the war in ukraine is lost. the reality of the situation is that the west has grossly miscalculated how to deal with russia. and now a political scientist from the united states, stefan ebrart, is in direct contact with us. stefan, hello. hello. well, according to tradition, i already thank you. that you get in touch with us when you don’t sleep at night in america, in order to tell us how americans react to what is happening events, zelensky’s arrival, his attempt to regain attention, what turned out to be for the americans, in particular, they began to show more interest in square, to be honest, let’s just make one tiny clarification, this is not exactly... this is another visit, how many times already i came, dear mr. president zelensky, i don’t remember, but many times, and to be honest, i followed this media ye

these brutal tactics in the winter and once again attempt to launch a campaign to destroy ukraine's critical energyure. just in the last few days. we witnessed several air attacks. it seems that they were aimed at the defense systems that the ukrainians have installed to protect their energy infrastructure. and during over the weekend, the russians carried out a large-scale attack using drones against kyiv and other cities. president putin intends to continue this conflict and bring it directly to the ukrainian people in the coldest month of the year. well, that's what they say in the white house, what is putin going to do in ukraine? and why we need money from the united states of america so much. ukraine is not ready to join the european union, and therefore negotiations about it should not even be started. prime minister of hungary viktor orban said this on the air of his favorite radio kossuth. what's more, the head of the hungarian government also emphasized that brussels urgently needs to analyze the consequences of ukraine's possible accession to the eu. at the same time, he also added that

energy efficiency, etc. among the nine countries specified in the document, ukraine ranks third in the level of implementationeuropean requirements. the indicators are related to the actions of the authorities regarding the regulation of issues energy sector is the lowest with the level of carbon emissions reduction. well, it should be noted that ukraine has made significant progress in energy integration with europe, so on december 14, ukraine became a full member of the european network of electricity transmission operators. this means that the ukrainian electricity industry is fully connected to the eu both in fact and administratively. serhii lukyanchuk, an analyst, is currently in our studio. mr. serhiy, you are welcome. let's explain. these things, although you heard the end of our conversation, of course we want to talk about the resource regarding production shahedov and rockets, which was discussed with mr. kryvolap, but if there is enough time, now directly about this integration of energy with europe, please explain to consumers what this gives us, this has been talked about more than once, but con

. >> reporter: the year began russia's onslaught of ukraine's energy infrastructure leaving millionsthe winter, spreading misery and terror. force a russian missile designed to target aircraft carriers tore through an apartment building in january, killing dozens of civilians. >> freedom is priceless. >> reporter: in president biden's surprise visit to kyiv in february, he pledged u.s. support saying the americans stand with you and the world stands with you. but it was becoming increasingly clear ukraine was struggling. on the front line positions we visited near bazokhmut, soldier melting down the u.s. supplied howitzers from constant abuse. >> on the front line, this relentless artillery battle firing off at russian positions trying to push them back from areas around bakhmut. despite the increased firepower, ukraine's counteroffensive has failed to deliver. the front line has barely budged in some places russian forces have managed to advance. we were covering a story in lehmann when a missile slammed into a nearby neighborhood. it was a bad day, but chief medic dr. oleksei told

domestic supply chains, and overall i think the geopolitical war in europe and russia and ukraine changed the energyo the production in europe i think is off the charts and by that measure, the trade export to china i think become less competitive at the same time, i think the chinese government has subsidies to deal well and they come with many questions. last month sean paying joe pleaded guilty to money laundering charges and agreed to pay more than $4.3 billion in fines. efs faces a maximum prison sentence of 18 months. there has been an explosion of interest in artificial intelligence since the launch of openai�*s chatgpt last year. major technology players — including apple and google in the us and china's alibaba and tencent — have rolled out their own ai models. meanwhile, european union countries are trying to reach an agreement on rules governing ai. joining us now to look at what this all means is maribel lopez from lopez research. it's a real win for the ai industry, given the breadth of companies and countries, we expect there is going to be a regulation that comes out of it, were trust

and also i think the geopolitical war in europe and maybe russia and ukraine changed the energy landscapeduction in europe i think is off the charts and by that measure, the trade export to china, i think, become less competitive at the same time. i think the chinese government has subsidies inaudible and they come with many questions. ajudge has ruled the boss of finance must remain in the us until his sentencing. changpeng zhao pleaded guilty to anti mundlak report money laundering charges and agreed to pay more than $4.3 billion in fines. he faces a maximum prison sentence of 18 months. eu leaders are divided over how to regulate artificial intelligence in the western world. they held 24 straight hours of negotiations early this week and will resume discussions on friday morning. among the more contentious issuesis among the more contentious issues is biometric surveillance. the efforts to regulate seem promising. it’s surveillance. the efforts to regulate seem promising. it's a real win for _ regulate seem promising. it's a real win for the _ regulate seem promising. it's a real win f

energy battle. last year, russia tried to hit ukraine with a blackout. iles were tried by the transnist shaheds, who became a weapon of russian terror destroy our energy. now we will settle the air force, particularly with your support. and if we continue to do this, if we endure this winter energetically, russian terror will suffer one of the biggest losses. at this time this year , ukraine has already experienced six massive enemy attacks. 50-100 missiles each, and a number of raids by shaheds. in november, it even happened in the country. as a result of another attack, all nuclear units in the controlled territory were disabled, and the energy system lost its integrity, millions of ukrainians were left without electricity, had to adapt to life with emergency shutdown schedules, a new characteristic sound appeared on the streets of the cities, the noise of the generator being turned on. according to the ministry of energy , there were casualties from the shelling. 50% of energy infrastructure, thermal power plant turbines, distribution networks and scar

the same in any region, yes, that is, the power is also transmitted, for for the entire energy system of ukraine. today we entered the winter without a sufficient reserve of power, it is true, but in the month of december, i think we will not observe any noticeable shortage of electrical energy, but starting, probably from january, when there will already be severe frosts, then we can expect a certain shortage of electric energy in certain peak hours, so citizens need to use it more economically, precisely from 5 to 7 hours, primarily in the evenings. its energy devices in order to pass normally without any such crisis phenomena, the whole autumn-winter period. and more though. i ask the question because the working group of the committee on energy, the committee on energy and housing and communal services met in the verkhovna rada the day before, and they talked about the fact that it is worth encouraging people to change and it is worth laying the foundations for energy-efficient behavior, now pensioners are once again being offered to change ordinary light bulbs for energy-saving ones, mr. vo

are doing to ensure and make it safe, well, since the 22nd year, a massive attack on the energy system of ukraine began in october, the enemy wanted to plunge us into a complete blackout. deprive people of light and energy, realizing that everyone understood that energy is both the economy and life, and the enemy tried to plunge us into darkness, and of course then everyone understood that we you need to defend yourself quickly and try to recover as quickly as possible, we were in a blackout for a very short period of time on... we managed to recover quickly, if you look at the history of blackouts in the world, it had very large catastrophic consequences for them, er, let's say, for ukrainians it was possible to localize this situation very quickly and within an hour to raise the power system from blackout, and of course this power system was raised thanks to the hes and hydroelectric power plants and the hydroaccumulating plant and thanks to zaporizhia. about the hessian, therefore we went through such a test, and you know , if on the 24th, practically, on the 22nd, or on the 24th, we left the

oleksiy kucherenko, people's deputy of ukraine, first deputy chairman of the committee on energy and housing and communal services of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, you can already see him, mr. oleksiy, thank you for finding time for us on sunday. thank you mr. mykola for the invitation, i congratulate you and all the viewers. well, so, the first question, actually. i said it, and what is to come, it will be like last year, it will be worse, than last year, it will be better than last year, i mean absolutely dry moments, i will convince you that it will be better, because we are already used to it, we already understand how it will be, you are ready for challenges, but if you take dry, what is waiting, by the way, you are absolutely right, here , first of all, you need to mentally, so to speak , understand that we are already... not the ukrainians we were a year ago, that's right, we are already, well, sorry, no on barbecues, but we in real life, we understand that the country is at war, we understand what the enemy is capable of, we understand that he is not simple, this enemy, we un

look, we work together in the united energy system in such a way in the european space, we remember that on the eve of the war, ukrainedistanced itself from the russian russian-belarusian energy system and we joined the european so-called nsoe, and this gives us the opportunity to ensure... reliability things are energetic and if necessary, we can import a certain one the amount of electricity, how much, well, we can somewhere up to 2-2 megawatts, now it's a lot, it 's a lot, it will fill two nuclear power units, and now it's being carried out as technical technical assistance and that's it. provided for in parallel work agreements, but i know that a relevant decision has been made, and such commercial contracts for the flow of european electricity are currently being prepared . and we know that ukrenergo a few days ago... became as a full member of the nssh, this is, as it were, the final completion of the collective work that we created to integrate the ukrainian system into the european one, and if possible, we export electricity to european countries, this is also help and financial assistance for our energy indus

the war in ukraine turned the energy world upside down and led to the emergence of the so -called shadowrs appeared, new ones... and russia eventually even overthrew saudi arabia from the throne and became the largest oil supplier in the world. all this has become an incredibly difficult problem for western politicians, they are scared. they initially wanted the supply of russian oil to continue, but for russia's oil revenues to decrease, so the price ceiling for russian oil the oil they introduced is a real balancing act, and it’s no wonder that... many were sure from the very beginning that this strange undertaking would not be successful. the russian oil price ceiling does very little to stop the flow of money into russia. it is clear that there are a number of prohibitions that cannot be violated, but the reality is that no one cares about these prohibitions. chinese oil refining companies purchase russian oil to the maximum. now the chinese are already importing 25% more oil from russia than before the war in ukraine. in the case of india, the increase in purchases of russian oil is

, so that ukraine. were again without light and heat in the most difficult months. russia wanted to destroy critical energy infrastructure of ukraine to deprive the ukrainian people of access to heat and light in the coldest season of the year. russia tried to break the will of the ukrainian people, but of course it was defeated. we are now entering another winter and russia will return to these brutal tactics and once again attempt to destroy ukraine's critical infrastructure. how will events unfold in the future in the russian-ukrainian war, especially in winter, and what should ukrainians prepare for? we will talk about this further, an officer is with us live zsu, volunteer, head of the mir and co. foundation, mr. myroslav, good evening, good evening, in your opinion, what is the current general strategic situation on all fronts, or indeed, how come some western journalists come to the conclusion that the situation is a stalemate, well it seems to me that it is not my level to talk about the strategic situation, especially since every soldier sees the war in his own trench, and accordingly i can talk a
