Direct speech: “You want to ask, will we have a more difficult period than now? The next 30 days will be difficult for us. I sometimes hear that from January 15 it will get better or from next week it will get better – and at the end they add in small letters: provided that there are no new shelling.

But with a high probability there will be new shelling. Therefore, this “good news” is, of course, good, but if you ask my opinion, I believe that the situation will be difficult by February 15-20. It may become lighter when the frost subsides a little – sometime towards the end of this week.”
Details: According to him, the most difficult situation is currently in Odesa Oblast and Odesa. Lately, it has been getting worse in Kharkiv. The situation is difficult in Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Chernihiv, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia and Kyiv.
He added that “further on, longer daylight hours begin, the sun is higher, solar generation will begin to work better – it is distributed in our country and is in many regions, so it will immediately begin to help.”
“And we will feel it – somewhere from February 15-20 in the afternoon, we will have more electricity. The next 30 days will not be easy. We need to understand this and, if possible, prepare for it,” he concluded.
