Yermak, scheming and petty revenge: interview with former head of "Ukrenergo" Kudrytskyi // Uncensored. VIDEO
Mindich’s recordings reveal not only a corruption scandal in the energy sector, but also a crisis in public administration: individuals with no official positions were able to influence ministers, state-owned companies, law enforcement agencies and personnel decisions within the energy sector.
According to Censor.NET, as part of the ‘Uncensored’ project , Maryna Danyliuk-Yarmolaieva speaks with Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, the former head of "Ukrenergo", about the case against him, his conflict with Herman Halushchenko, the role of the President’s Office, schemes at "Energoatom", the influence of Mindich, Tsukerman, Shurma and other figures in the energy sector. We also examine how the electricity sales schemes operated, why "Energoatom Trading" could have been a key hub for large sums of money, and why corruption in procurement is only part of a much broader problem.
We also discuss Ukraine’s energy security ahead of summer and winter: why distributed generation is not being built at the required pace, whether power cuts are possible in July and August, who is responsible for preparing Kyiv for the heating season, why the authorities are returning to the topic of Bulgarian reactors, and what the energy sector of the future should look like after the war.
