It will be appropriate to say that we are conducting an interview with entrepreneurs on the espresso Youtube Channel , every wednesday at seven oclock you can find another fresh interview with a representative of a small or mediumsized business, and tomorrow there will be such an interview with the owner of a kindergarten in kyiv how to make money at a kindergarten, watch tomorrow on the Youtube Channel express. The electronic queue for buses of regular flights has become operational on the border between ukraine and poland. It operates at the yagodyn checkpoint. The state Border Service informed that drivers or logisticians will need to register and the bus in the system will drive to the crossing at the specified time and so far, this is a pilot test. Such a process, and after setting up all the nuances, the queues of passenger buses will finally disappear from the border pass points , the ministry of infrastructure believes. Well, we are on it we also hope that ukraine received another grand from the United States of america this is a billion dollars of aid, they were sent to ukraine through the world bank Donors Trust Fund , the ministry of finance of ukraine reports this, they note that the funds will be used for payments to internally displaced persons, as well as for salaries of employees of state bodies, this is not the first such grant, in general, since the beginning of the year, our state has already received almost 8. 5 billion dollars in nonrefundable aid, but now we will talk about Energy Safety with Roman Nitsovich, this is the director of research of the Analytical Center of dixigroup, mr. Romany. I greet you. Good morning. Well, maybe for a start, lets introduce the audience from dixigroup to what kind of organization it is, what it does and what reports you prepare, in particular in the field of Energy Security, we are an Analytical Center from kyiv, we have been working for 15 years and now every month we conduct such reviews in the field of Energy Security in order not to repeat mistakes in fact and to give an answer on how to strengthen it, we see this through the decentralization of the Energy System increasing the share of Renewable Energy and other green solutions, because we monitor not only what ukraine is doing in this field, but also what eu countries and the usa are doing, for example , other developed countries, if we talk about Energy Security research. So who pays for this work . Is it public money it is some kind of donors of the grantor, this work is really supported by the International Renaissance fund. It is good. And if you talk about the importance of this work, you say not to repeat mistakes. That is, you investigate the risks in the power system and send your reports to government officials, or do you publish them publicly, well, through the press, how do you spread them, including yes, including thanks to you, we are trying to convey some main trends, the Main Solutions that allow us to do this and uh, well , because the issue of Energy Security each of us felt that winter and sooner for everything, he will feel the next one, we will definitely talk about it. Well, lets influence, we will tell important things. Maybe one of the government officials is watching us. We wanted to touch on the topic of the european Energy System. This story is pronounced ensuite it is the European Union of system operators, that is, it is all of continental europe, uh, from lisbon, relatively speaking, to warsaw, uh, and well, its actually the largest Electricity Network in the world that works in such a synchronous mode, that is, its 27 member countries 27 networks, you can imagine and ukraine also joined this Large Network last year. It seems direct. It was in the days of the invasion. So it was actually an emergency emergency, that is, we had to physically disconnect. It happened literally three hours before invasion uh, but it was planned, yes, disconnection uh, and we were supposed to work in test mode, and in fact, the synchronization itself was supposed to take place only this year in 2023 , but we, well, because of the invasion, it all happened in emergency mode, well that is, we actually exceeded this plan or schedule by a year, and thats enough. Lets say it insured us because we are now independent from the russian Energy System, from the belarusian Energy System and their provocations there, and we now work in a synchronous mode and technically with the european power system, i. E. Until february 24. Last year, we depended on the russians and belarusians, and they could, in principle, simply close the pincheck and not supply us with electricity , attack our infrastructure. Well , they could destabilize it. Do you remember what happened with gas when they played with pressure . E on the pipeline they destabilized our system. In this way, they could also destabilize the electric power system in order to disable our power plants where it is now. Fortunately, we are now part of the european Energy System. Does this mean that we can freely buy electricity, sell electricity, import it . Is there such a mechanism as e e market or maybe not quite market administrative, as far as we joined in such an emergency emergency mode, so far ee the allowed volume of commercial flows from it is limited it is 1 200 mw for import and 400 mw for export, but negotiations are underway to increase it, increase it, increase it in the future, there were no obstacles other than purely technical ones. Part of the ukrainian Energy System is so small. Ostrivets was synchronized with the european Energy System. Now the entire Energy System is organized. In principle, this gives not only the opportunity to receive some kind of emergency Technical Assistance there, but also to integrate our electricity markets, because if imports come here, it will significantly affect the market and will not allow our monopolists there to dictate the conditions on the market. That is why it is very important that the history of the small island of ostrivets is borshti and energy island. It seems to be called but in ivanofrankivsk region, if someone traveled from lviv to ivanofrankivsk before reaching halych, you saw a huge power plant, and it was integrated before, before , yes. To the european Energy System, you say that integration also involves some market mechanisms, competition, that is, after the end of the war, i understand that we will be able to choose from whom to buy electricity. The italian ee and thats exactly how even now the market is giving certain signals. When can we import e electricity from the eu countries when there are negative prices for example ee or very urban prices, well if huge production small demand and we can this documents i i apologize they pay extra when you use their electrolysis , this is the situation in the market when suppliers pay extra for you to buy their electricity, a unique situation, as i understand it. Its really good, lets dream about negative tariffs for the population so that we are paid extra for what you consume so far there is no such thing and unfortunately it will probably not happen because this is a situational story about winter, you mentioned that it will be difficult in winter this winter we understand that we cannot predict the weather but we can predict that the russians will continue to attack our Energy System and there may be failures. Will the european system help us get through the next winter easier than the previous one . Well, imports are quite a significant factor. They can cover up to 10 of peak demand under the condition of full the use of available or permitted amounts at the same time, it must be understood that if electricity enters, it must reach the final consumer, and here an important factor is whether those substations will be intact or if the route of the passage of electricity to the consumer would be available. Because here , too, there are certain technical limitations, ukrenergo is currently working on making sure that there are more of these routes. That is, there were, er, several schemes of alternative Energy Supply for consumers, so that there were such duplicates, er, because it is necessary to understand that the structure of winter, we entered with a big there is no reserve power reserve. It is broken and destroyed, and what will be restored before winter and by the end of the year is actually, well, only a third of it is destroyed , yes, that is, this especially applies to armor capacities, that is, those that provide consumption in the Morning Hours and evening hours when the demand increases well, i saw in the news that some tesla batteries were handed over to ukraine, i dont know how powerful they are, how much they can help us, ah, but you mentioned the decentralization of the Energy System, its a good idea and that every region or every settlement could , in principle, somehow provide itself with electricity, at least for a while , yes, at least at the current stage, we are talking about the provision of Critical Infrastructure facilities there, not only hospitals , schools, kindergartens, but also, for example , heating enterprises, water supply and Water Utilities , etc. The things on which life in the community depends, in fact, in addition to light, we also need heat in the winter. Plans, it is probably worth addressing these questions , who developed these plans and inserted these governments. Naftogaz, so far, the rate of injection is the same as last year and beyond. There was a drop in consumption, there was a lot of gas on the market, including the gas of european traders, so we cannot compare, but if we compare it with 2021 in the 22nd year , then the rates of injection are basically adak, so you also need to understand that the market has also changed significantly first of all, it will enter because the industrial consumption of gas has fallen significantly, the production has also decreased, although it is so much that is why it is now prohibited to export gas produced in ukraine, that is, a large part of the gas that is produced by private companies is pumped into storage, this is not a market mechanism, i understand, but eh this is a signal that we dont really have enough gas, because if there was enough , it would be forbidden for experts to pop, i hope that it will still be enough and that we will fill our storage tanks , i have one last question and literally half a minute hmm, to the answer, sorry about the sanctions, can economic sanctions help us to protect our Energy System, protect our energy in the sanctions against the aggressor, yes, this is an increase in the economic effect of withdrawing the war, so for the aggressor, that is, he loses funds or where he earns them, so this is a certain factor which it is always important why russia is talking now about the export of fertilizers about the export of its food because they were taxed by sections and if they were to lose significantly from this therefore, in addition to strengthening Ukrainian Defense forces, this is an important economic he is the front, how shall we say it . Well, here is the latest package of sanctions, the 11th european one, there are some features that concern the Energy Systems and or companies of the Energy Sector of russia, for example, to hint to them and about what is consistently there about blocking those ways of circumventing sanctions which already exist and have already been determined , in particular, which relate to the export of russian oil products. Thank you, mr. Roman. I also remember that you and i talked about the need to apply sanctions against russian ee groups in the context of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear power plant of the occupation, i advise all viewers to watch our previous interview with you about this, there was more detail, Roman Nitsovich was on the air of the espresso tv channel, the Research Director of the Analytical Center of the dixie group. Well, i am andriy yanitsky, the host of this program.

Volodymyr grishko , if everything goes well, the events of the day in two hours , vasyls Big Broadcast of winter, a project for smart people and everyone who cares about espresso in the evening. Congratulations, it is becoming a good tradition that russian news starts with such messages. And that tonight, the cutoff demand of the kyiv regime is building a terrorist attack in moscow. As the ministry of defense reported , two ukrainian uavs were destroyed in the air by antiaircraft missiles. In the territory of the odintsovo and narfamin districts of the moscow region, another drone was suppressed by means of Electronic Warfare and lost control suffered a crash on the territory of a nonresidential complex, moscow was fed, several drones were shot down during a request to fly over moscow by means of pavel, one flew to the same tower, all the same that they had last time , the facade on the 21st floor was damaged , the glazing of 150 m² was broken, and there were some sounds they heard something buzzing, there was nothing. Well, papa fish, today they demanded not only moscow, but also our ships. This night, in the black sea aquarium , the demand for ukrainian nationalists stopped. This is a russian patrol ship. Sergey kotov and vasyl bykov, the militants tried to carry out sabotage with three unmanned sea boats, everything happened in three days. From 40 km southwest of sevastopol, the enemy boats were destroyed by fire and standard armament of the russian ships of the black sea fleet. Not long, but what is interesting, it would seem that there should be screams and screams, but no. Not so much time has passed, and already such news is presented by russian propaganda as if you know it. Well, routine, well what can we do again . Well, what can we do, and this is my direct answer to all those who were so worried about whether it is p
