“We need an energy ceasefire. A ceasefire on the energy assets. How can you talk about peace and [keep] attacking people, and knowing that people are freezing? How can these things go in parallel?”

“This is more about building a new energy system in Ukraine than just reconstruction.”
I have a lot of fucking questions to the top management of DTEK myself. But he has a point here, obviously. The repairmen are basically scrambling to constantly restore the power grid at the rate it’s damaged, and this isn’t a race that can be won, much less in freezing weather.
But also, this wouldn’t have to be this bad if DTEK and other energy companies prepared better.
