This is the last winter when Putin will have a gas blackout levers (photo: Reuters/Gleb Granich) Lana Mirkal, Advisor to Ukraine Minister of Energy, told Radio NV as Europe is preparing for the heating season, which has a chance to be the last The influence will have the Russian Federation. - I will start with history with Zaporizhzhya NPP.

We have previously said that Ukraine has excellent prospects for electricity exports, at the same time what is happening in the south, otherwise it is difficult to call nuclear terrorism. Today, I understand, for the emergency situations. As a result of the actions of the invaders, the for the first time in history has been completely disconnected by the NPP from the energy network.

I will start with a security question: what consequences can these events lead to? Video of the day is an object of high risk, it should not be treated so senseless. Indeed, this meaninglessness has a certain sense, because they raise rates, because the next week is a scheduled visit to the IAEA mission. All logistics routes are now being decided as they will pass.

And despite the fact that the Russians agreed to the mission through the territory of Ukraine, they now artificially create all the conditions for the mission to reach the object, given the situation around it. - To what extent is this serious blow to Ukraine's power system? - Currently, the power system of Ukraine is working steadily, the only thing we will start to burn the coal that we store for the winter.

Therefore, they also pursue their goals, which are associated with their knees and make the situation critical in the winter. Because we are now specifically accumulating coal for winter, and given the absence of Zaporizhzhya station in our system, if this situation continues, we will be forced to burn a little more coal than they planned.

- Will the Russians be able to redeem the station to their network through, for example, occupied Crimea or captured by Mariupol? - No, they will not be able to, now it is physically impossible. It was difficult, and now it is impossible. - How will it affect what I mentioned, the export of Ukrainian electricity abroad? It was, and perhaps there is a compensating mechanism with the understanding that we need money to buy gas, to purchase the same coal.
