Energy Defense Failure: Kurtiev Named Reasons for Chaos and Corruption.

Failure of the Energy Facility Protection Program in Ukraine

According to inkorr.com: Energy expert Viktor Kurtiev stated that the energy facility protection program in Ukraine has failed. He named the main reasons as the irresponsibility of NEC 'Ukrenergo' and corruption schemes in the 'Development Agency.'

According to data from the Temporary Investigative Commission of the Verkhovna Rada, the corruption conspiracy at 'Ukrenergo' was not centralized. However, a 'total mess' was recorded, leading to construction delays.

'The prices at which 'Ukrenergo' carried out construction works seem to have been normal, market prices,' emphasized the expert, citing the TSK report.

It was also found that there were inflated prices for construction at the 'Development Agency,' indicating corresponding corruption schemes. Kurtiev notes that this structure was created specifically for such manipulations.

'There was no centralized corruption content from 'Ukrenergo.' However, it existed in the 'Development Agency.' This structure was created for this, as noted in the TSK report,' highlighted the expert.

After the TSK inspection at one of the facilities, construction rates unexpectedly increased, indicating insufficient management effectiveness. Kurtiev asserts that the problem lies not in a lack of resources, but in ineffective management and possible sabotage.

'In this month, they built far more than in all the previous two and a half years. Therefore, there is an amazing turnaround here,' noted the expert.

Kurtiev also critically assessed the management system in the energy sector, calling the narratives about effective management, anti-corruption, and transparency a 'complete total myth.' He concluded that there is a struggle in Ukraine between 'national' and 'transnational' corruption clans.

The mentioned problems in the energy sector threaten not only the stability of energy facilities but also the country's overall security. Investigative actions could lead to serious consequences for both responsible individuals and the management system in Ukraine. Whether the country will be able to overcome these challenges and find effective solutions remains a question that awaits answers.
