left for our passionate meeting. now we are waiting for the british political scientist taras kuzio, then we will have oleksiy orzhal, the head of the kyiv office of the energy community secretariat. he worked as a minister of energy and environmental protection from 19 to 20 years. that is, let's talk first of all about the russian and ukrainian energy industry. of the verkhovna rada of ukraine on issues of freedom of speech, let's talk about this marathon and about the criticism from our western friends, i would say, friendly criticism of the ukrainian government, well, let's discuss all this, but mr. kuzio and i will talk about britain, about that. that there are rumors that maybe the prime minister will visit us, maybe even before, until may,

some say, maybe at the beginning of may we will definitely talk about the so-called consular cauldron, such and such a name was given to the huge queues of ukrainian men in european countries who went there to hide from the war, or simply to accompany their families and so on. well, all these are, so to speak, important topics, and topics for which there are no answers, this is what interests me the most, does anyone in the world know the answer, how to carry out flawless mobilization, how to carry out flawless demobilization, like all these to do things flawlessly, because reprimands fly from all sides, but no one offers, well that's it it's a habit already, no one offers options, it always seemed to me that if you say it as bad as you do, but do it like this and

it will be better, but everyone puts a period after the words so... bad, as you do, as i mean it, you are zelenskyi, you are the prime minister, you are the ukrainian parliament, you are the government as a whole, but for someone to say, how should it be, i have not met such a thing, and that is enough, well, such a difficult topic, how to say, if mr. taras does not appear, i will tell you, since we will talk about britain simply, what are there events take place, there are very... often, maybe not crowded, small, but rallies in support of ukraine, in which they take, uh, not only ukrainians who live there, whether temporarily or for a long time, take part, but a lot british people, we have already shown in the news that the british also provide some cars, which, what i mean is that

simply my youngest daughter... is currently studying in scotland, came to london, she is met there, and congratulated, and they say that ukrainians are good people, but sometimes they confuse, since she moved from scotland, maybe she has some there are signs that she is scottish, and londoners meet her and say, you scots are well done, because you want to live in europe, and we english voted differently than you, although londoners voted for the exit of britain from the european commonwealth. but in general, england voted for exit, and scotland is against exit, and the scots want to be in europe, and the english do not want to be in the majority, not in the majority, in the majority, but the londoners are in favor, and they also congratulate the ukrainians, and say, here you are well done, you want to go to europe, our leaders offered us a referendum on leaving europe,

and the majority voted for it, now we have it. there will be a little change in the course of the play according to our play, we put it aside, we hope, then we will involve taras kuzio, a british political scientist, and we have oleksiy orzhyl, the head of the kyiv office of the energy community secretariat, the minister of energy and environmental protection of ukraine from the 19th to the 20th year. thank you, mr. oleksiy, for volunteering to talk with us, well, as i understand it, as i understand it, now in... ukrainians are beating russian energy, and russians are beating energy ukrainian, well, who is more precise, who is worse off, who suffers more, us from russian weapons or the russians from ukrainian weapons, well, we are hitting their export component, they are trying to export petroleum products,

oil, and this is for them today one from the most critical sources of income, if you ... you, where the rioters hit, they hit our generation facilities, which are very difficult to restore, yes, the refinery is also a problem for them, we drink through the noses of refineries factories, their production has fallen, there is a certain deficit, there are even moratoriums on what cannot be exported gasoline, in this case, but this means that, for example, they are looking for other sources of supply, it could be the morzensky plant in belarus, in belarus it just worked. to the market of ukraine and now certainly does not work, so they can compensate to some extent. on the other hand, the rashists really hurt ukrainian energy, because the destruction and today's shelling of thermal power plants is exactly the destruction of maneuvering capacities, these are the capacities that we can turn on when we need, that is

, in the evening or in the morning, when there are peak consumptions , and they purposefully hit these objects. and they can’t be restored just like that, let’s be honest, this equipment is unique, which was assembled and produced there a long time ago, it can really be produced and there was , accordingly, production capacity in ukraine on turboatom, but the problem is that the turboatom was in kharkiv and to this day he is evacuating from kharkiv understanding. the challenges that exist today, that's why it's actually very difficult to find this equipment, the fact that partners disassemble it at their old facilities, in particular, lithuania, that potential germany is disassembling equipment. this is a huge thank you to them, because it is almost impossible to just buy, go out and buy this equipment on the market, and there are other, even more critical

challenges that russian terrorists are making, this is the situation with kharkov, they are simply destroying systems not not only the generation of electrical energy, but also thermal energy, and this means that it is necessary to build a new system there again, a distributed system that would be able to... completely provide, replace that system that was there before, and in fact it well, it is a huge challenge, because there is very little time, there is not so much equipment on the market, you have to order it, you have to find money, and here our friends, donors and the secretariat of the energy community help in this case, they have money, but they run out very quickly and frankly, considering how the rashists beat every day, so in this case we beat and... yes, and it is felt, they feel maximum discomfort, but the way they destroy energy before the winter and heating season, it is even well more

painful, and i think that these strikes, let's be honest, they were not some kind of political decision, because if such strikes were to be carried out in december, it would be a humanitarian disaster, and everyone was afraid of this and talked about the fact that these objects must be protected, if they to beat it in march, it gives the impression that a political decision was made, because to a certain extent such objects are definitely difficult to restore, and this means that even if they completely destroy them, it is them, you know, that's the way to decide there have any plans about a greater occupation of territories, but they destroy generating facilities near the front, which means that they simply even if god forbid, this will not happen. but somehow they are still occupying, it means that there is simply no generation there, and that, i'm sorry,

please, i understand correctly that your concern is that it could happen that the next winter will be worse than this one winter, and worse than the previous winter, that is , there may not be enough energy, and ukrainians... will start to freeze and so on and sit in the dark, tell me, please, well, we actually compared to the previous winter it was more or less normal, the previous one is just compared to the winter of 22-23, i'm afraid it could be worse, considering the destruction we have today, and why, because after all such critical elements of the system as the thermal conductor. hydroelectric power plants, which the rochists are hitting systematically, they are really critical, they used to hit the substation on the electrical energy transmission systems, that is, it means that

it is not possible to transport and deliver from this station, but now they are simply destroying source, and this is an even bigger challenge, we have time to prepare, we have time to rebuild the systems, but even more , the main challenge here is that if we can restore... well , let's cannibalize quiet equipment from one station to another stations to work without anti-aircraft defense that would protect these objects, well, it's just not reasonable, understanding that the russians can simply destroy the reconstructed object with the next missile. in this aspect, the challenges are critical, i would say that everyone should have a plan b in ukraine, every ukrainian woman, because winter can be difficult, and even sometimes it can happen that is worse than... 22-23. when you say that every ukrainian should have a plan b, this means how to translate it for ukrainians so that they understand that they need to

buy batteries, some kind of storage systems. oh, i'm already afraid that we are advertising to someone, and now there will be queues there outside certain shops. that is, for every ukrainian, those who live in villages should keep this in mind, stock up on firewood. kami and so on and the like, what, what should people do? well there is no panic here, because there is already the impression that prices have started to increase, but this is how you need to understand some alternative option, in particular, if there is a situation in the system such that, for example, you have to go to friends or relatives who do not have restrictions on electricity supply , and even more so in heat supply, if there is a house in the countryside. maybe some country houses somewhere, prepare them, it's just that now is the time, don't panic, calm down, but you understand that you have an alternative, which in

any case. which you can her to use, and moreover, it is really necessary, a lot of generators have already been bought, a lot of these batteries have already been bought, it is necessary to check their condition, carry out a technical inspection, maintenance, and moreover, one must prepare there with one's neighbors, one must prepare with by your relatives potentially, if it is an apartment building, you have to think, you can install a centralized generator, which would help and provide, for example, water supply, lighting of common areas, you can think about drola, this is also an option, well, let's say, there is no panic now, absolutely everything is in a calm mode, and because there is still a lot of time, but just work out a plan b and enter the heating season with even more confidence. mr. oleksiy, there is another question,

big cities, for example, let's take the capital... kyiv, well, we understand that kyiv is quite well protected by air defense, it is protected enough, but nearby is trypillya, which has already been destroyed, this trypillya station, that is as much as big cities can be, so to speak, minimized losses, so i would said, something can still fly in, but if it does, something knocks it out, and we understand that there is no light for two hours. whether there is no hot water there for one hour or something else, but it is another matter when there is no electricity and hot water for 22 hours, how much is ukraine capable of, in principle, ukrainian air defense, anti-aircraft defense, to protect odessa, kyiv, dnipro, lviv, well, i mean such millionaires, it is obvious that kharkiv is impossible, because the flight time there is minutes or seconds, and then, excuse me. well

, that's the geography of your city, what do you say? well, in fact, there are certain plans, they are being implemented today, donors are helping again, it is simply necessary to take the next steps, it is necessary to define such a list of equipment, in particular, cogeneration plants, certain generators, modular boiler houses, which could be provided in the event that for example, air defense could not stop a mass attack, the destruction of the power plant. system, but this means that the water utilities of the heat utility company, they have their own small generation facilities, this means that the city has heat, there is water, and in fact, if there is heat and water and still energy workers are working to restore the electricity supply, so it may take a long time, but if there is no water and heat, then it is an evacuation, and in fact it is a very huge humanitarian challenge there, because, well, it's been a long time. millions

of people, sometimes, if during the maximum load of sub-zero temperatures there , the system, water supply and heat supply systems may still freeze, this means that it is simply impossible to thaw them until next spring, and this means that you just have to take everyone and take them out, so in this aspects, it is necessary to define the critical infrastructure, it is necessary to introduce small generation objects there, which are turned on at the moment when it is needed and provide critical ones. services, precisely these services are necessary for ukrainians to really understand how we can protect centralized facilities, and here, in fact, only our partners can help provide more space, so we need to work out these plans to ensure the operation of our critical infrastructure, and again, now there is a lot of talk about distributed generation, it is not done in one day, it is not done in two

days, but... but again, we have to choose priorities, actually decentralized generation is a priority, why? because, well , once again, i thought, either we need to somehow send it to mars, or we need to protect the facilities of centralized generation as much as possible, and this is also a huge expense of air defense. thank you very much, i would also like to ask, in your opinion, what is the old style of the government and the leadership of ukraine in general? in general, the pechersk hills are five, four, three, that is , you say, there are challenges, there are challenges, and the ukrainian government is ready for these challenges, and whether it does, it understands where these challenges are, how they can be overcome, i would like you to know, as i said, it's just that i am also involved in this process here now, i would not pass the assessment today, i would like the government to create a single coordination.
