In a state of war, it is not enough to follow the news and online broadcasts. To understand the reality, you have to be there. That is why Enkom regularly travels to Ukraine, supplies energy equipment, and participates in the restoration of key energy sources directly in the field.
Our director, Mr. Richard Benda, also travels to Ukraine regularly. On a recent trip, he once again experienced drone attacks, travel through darkened cities, and stays in freezing temperatures of −25 °C without electricity or heat.
What does it really mean today to operate energy in a country at war? How often does infrastructure that is repeatedly targeted must be repaired? What do daily power outages mean for households and industry? Why is Ukraine surviving thanks to norms and safety standards that we may have laughed at just a few years ago? And what was its biggest mistake in terms of energy before the war?
Find out everything in Mr. Benda’s interview with Seznam Zprávy.
