In this episode of Ukrainapodden, Tormod and Jørn delve into the critical energy situation in Ukraine, with guests Victoria Voytsitska, former Member of Parliament and anti-corruption activist, and Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, former Chairman of Ukrenergo. They discuss how Ukraine has managed Russian attacks on the power grid, the importance of connecting to the European system, and the need for decentralized and renewable energy production. In a truly remarkable detail, the guests reveal how Russia insisted that Ukraine's disconnection from the Russian grid be scheduled for February 24th, the same day as the full-scale invasion. The guests also share powerful stories of threats and sabotage, and make concrete calls to Norwegian businesses to invest in Ukraine's energy future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
