“We’re just going back to the 90s.” Ukrainian experts assessed the situation in the energy sector
Ukraine has reached the point where the issue of rolling blackouts is being decided by the leadership of Belarus, with which official Kyiv is in strained relations.
Political scientist Dmitry Korneychuk stated this on air on the First Independent TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Korneychuk, power outages will begin again in the country, as was the case in the 90s, because the authorities have done nothing to ensure the energy security of the state.
“We talked about this situation back in the summer and nothing has changed since the summer, nothing has been done by the Cabinet of Ministers, nothing has been done by the president. Now that we have come to these rolling blackouts, which we may have on our hands if Belarus does not give us electricity, which it may or may not,” the analyst said.
“Actually, we have difficult relations with Belarus, we actually impose sanctions, air travel there has been stopped, and so on. That is, we managed to quarrel with everyone there too. And now we depend on Lukashenko. That is, we have come to the point where now Lukashenko decides whether Ukraine will have rolling blackouts or not,” Korneychuk said.
And according to expert in the housing and communal services industry Anna Logozyak, Ukraine will again plunge into the atmosphere of the 90s if it does not conclude direct agreements with Russia in the near future.
“I believe that if tomorrow or in the next ten days they do not decide that we need to enter into agreements with our former partners, with whom we broke all the pots we could, then we will really face rolling blackouts,” she noted. she.
“We have already come up with the idea that our children will not go to kindergartens, schools and the like, in order to somehow get away from compensating for gas and not heating these premises, now we will come up with something else, rolling blackouts, the operation of elevators, transport - trolleybuses, which currently run on electricity, live according to some schedules. We are stupidly returning to the 90s,” Logozyak concluded.
