Apparently, the Flu Is the Bigger Problem"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>MPs plan to summon the Health Minister to Parliament this week for a Government Day session, arguing that\u2014amid ongoing crises\u2014the country\u2019s main problem now appears to be the flu.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not energy\u2014about which there are countless questions and just as many answers. I said in Parliament today that now is the time to present a program to replace the generation capacity destroyed in Kyiv and other cities. In addition to gas-fired cogeneration plants, greater attention should be given to stimulating alternative energy sources, such as wind and solar. Moreover, incentives for both businesses and households would significantly ease the burden on the power grid.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For some reason, this topic so touched the Office&#8217;s PR manager, Vova Petrov, that he even decided to advertise it (and me at the same time) on his channel &#8220;Card Office&#8221; and even on millionaire social media channels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the way, Vova Petrov has \u201cpackages\u201d in other Telegram channels on the heels of anti-corruption bodies, public activists, journalists, the president\u2019s competitors, and the opposition, which has higher ratings than the ruling party. And these packages include daily fake news on million-dollar Telegram channels, for which the President\u2019s Office provides Vova with stable sponsors. Well, someone has to pay for this banquet of smoky fakes. And this is the most interesting thing. I think we will find out who exactly very soon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A package is a pre-purchased number of negative publications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, of course, I&#8217;m pleased twice, because somewhere nearby on these media channels, there&#8217;s another attack on the &#8220;ineffective NABU,&#8221; the &#8220;package&#8221; for informational destruction of NABU is constant, and this is a decent company, and secondly, for the attention to the topic of alternative energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because today, most Ukrainians are forced to do this without any encouragement\u2014buy out all the warehouses from Ecoflow and install batteries and panels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Vladyslav Mishalov, a regular participant in what critics describe as smear campaigns, claims that the owner of the US\u2013Ukraine Now News channel is likely unaware of this. The Dnipro-based businessman, who owns the channel, is spending this winter\u2014and the war in general\u2014in Vienna. There, these issues seem far removed from daily reality.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the way, let me remind you: this situation in the energy sector occurred due to Russian shelling of unprotected Ukrainian generation facilities, in particular, at nuclear power plant substations, which were not protected because President Zelensky&#8217;s friend Timur Mindich laundered hundreds of millions from Energoatom&#8217;s suppliers. And some of them flowed to Vova.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But rather than address this, the Office has reportedly turned to other backers\u2014including Vova Petrova, who allegedly hires people to attend events involving Nikolov and Siumar, only to later \u201cloudly expose\u201d the 13 kW of solar panels installed on a declared wooden house.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This entire parallel information reality should ensure Zelensky&#8217;s re-election for a second term. True, it won&#8217;t get any warmer, nor will it get any brighter. But it won&#8217;t solve the problems for the next heating season. But this government doesn&#8217;t talk about problems and solutions. In its cinematic style, it is busy creating another virtual reality with &#8220;prosperity packages&#8221;&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the \u201ccreators\u201d in the office today are like Petrov from the cemetery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Also, follow <strong>\u201cPryamyi\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MPs plan to summon the Health Minister to Parliament this week for a Government Day session, arguing that\u2014amid ongoing crises\u2014the country\u2019s main problem now appears to be the flu.
