Ukraine lacks aircraft missile to protect restored energy facilities - DTEK

Dmitry Sukharuk, CEO of the power company, noted that there are 5-6 Russian missiles for every missile at the disposal of the air defense forces. Separately he criticized the country's leadership for insufficient funding and unprofessional management, which only worsened the situation. Missile deficiency is the main reason for the deterioration of the energy situation in Ukraine. This was stated by DTEK Executive Director Dmitry Sakharuk, writes Kyiv Post.

According to him, it seems that there are 5-6 Russian rockets for every missile in Ukraine. "If you start 10 missiles, you will need at least 12 missiles in the air defense system . . . Therefore, even if we start recovering, we will start repairing, now there is no way to protect the restored blocks," Sakharuk said. He also criticized Kiev for insufficient funding for the private sector and inadequate management, which worsened the situation. "There is no capital in Ukraine in Ukraine.

Capital goes only from government to government. The private sector is now zero," he said. Sakharuk added that to restore one GW of energy requires about $ 1 billion, regardless of energy sources. "The state sector was unable to provide results quickly and in time, except for a few exceptions. We have. But in general, it is simply a complete managerial inability to do something in time," Sakharuk added.

According to him, there is also a problem of military insurance (or its absence), which prevented private companies such as DTEK, to implement some projects. He noted that there are many ways to cope with the deficit - a decentralized generation of electricity, the restoration of destroyed objects and to import more electricity from Europe, but each of them is related to their problems. "We need to restore as much generating capacity as possible before winter.
