No economy and no men left to be sent to die in another meat grinder to defend some small village. What else is there for Ukraine to lose in this unwinnable war with Russia. Well the energy sector is collapsing and Ukraine and from the looks of it, it won’t be rebuilt anytime soon.
The reason according to the Ukrainian government is that all the missiles were used and Ukraine has no more missiles to defend with as they watch half of the energy sector get destroyed.
Ukraine has lost half of its remaining power generation capability since March this year, Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, CEO of Ukrenergo, Ukraine’s state-owned transmission operator said.
“Nine gigawatts (GW) is a huge number,” said Kudrytskyi at a discussion panel hosted by Ukraine Business News (UBN) Network on Friday, June 21.
If Kudrytskyi’s figures are accurate, it would mean that Ukraine only had approximately 18 GW remaining in the system prior to the renewed Russian strikes this year – less than a third of its pre-war 56 GW figure.
And the energy deficit was felt by all those who attended the UBN event – it was interrupted multiple times because of Ukraine’s rolling blackouts.
So that RT Christmas message that Ukraine supporters claimed was “Russian Propaganda” turned out to be accurate on what is happening in Ukraine.
Ukraine’s energy shortage is so bad that even during the summer when usage is lower. There is still a deficit in energy. Ukraine won’t tell on what they will do when Winter arrives for obvious reasons.
At the discussion, Kudrytskyi, alongside Dmytro Sakharuk , Executive Director of Ukraine’s DTEK energy enterprise’s and former Deputy Minister of Energy Oleksiy Ryabchyn, the grim prospect of Ukraine’s energy situation and the dilemmas it’s facing was raised.
“Even in the summer, when we have 40 to 45 percent lower consumption than in winter, we have a deficit of power that cannot be covered by imports of electricity from Europe,” Kudrytskyi said, adding that a number of EU nations are now transferring 1.7 GW of energy to Ukraine to help cope with the deficit.
However, in answer to a later Kyiv Post question, Kudrytskyi declined to comment on the power capacity used last winter and needed for this upcoming winter, calling it a sensitive figure.
The solution they have to keeping the remaining is more missiles to counter the Russian missiles. IDK why thinking that they are going to solve something they weren’t good at stopping in the first place, but we need more missiles or else you are a traitor to democracy and gay rights in Ukraine.
Like with the Liberal dictatorship he blames the private sector and lack of more government funding for not helping out even though they are in a fucking war as he says this with its economy nonexistent and only funded through Biden’s wallet.
DTEK’s Sakharuk named a deficit in air defense missiles as the main reason for Ukraine’s dwindling energy situation.
“It appears that for every missile that we have right now, five, six Russian missiles are coming in.
“If 10 missiles are coming in, you need at least 12 missiles in the air defense … so, even if we start recovering, start repairing, there’s no means right now to protect [the] recovered units,” Sakharuk said.
He also criticized Kyiv’s lack of funding for the private sector and inadequate governance, which exacerbated the situation.
“In Ukraine, there is no capital in private hands. The capital only goes through government to government. [The] private sector is zero right now,” he said, adding that it would need close to $1 billion to restore a single GW of energy, regardless of the sources of energy.
“The state sector could not deliver results quickly in time, except [for a] few exceptions. We have some. But in general, it’s just total managerial inability to do something in time,” Sakharuk added.
“Just because the money that was given to some state-owned companies will not be spent. Why? Because there is no organizational ability to spend them. No experience, no knowledge and no desire.”
Then there’s also the issue of war insurance – or the lack thereof – that prevented private companies such as DTEK from implementing some projects.
“It’s impossible to build something if you don’t have war insurance right now – or if you have, as everybody says, the coverage available [is] $1 million. But you need $1 billion … This is the third year we are talking about this,” Sakharuk said.
Ukraine can’t do anything since they have exhausted everything to the point when the Biden money stops its going to be like South Sudan. It won’t be fixed in 2 years since Ukraine is determined to keep this conflict going forever no matter if they become Zimbabwe or the rest of Europe falls into 3rd world misery.
This is the country that Biden and others prop up as some heroic struggle against le Nazi imperialism. Russia is just sitting back as Ukraine destroy themselves from within. It won’t be long until they just march into Kiev and end this thing without much resistance.
