Politico: Former Ukrenergo head Kudrytskyi has become a “scapegoat” for Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has found a “scapegoat” in former Ukrenergo head Volodymyr Kudrytskyi.

This information reported according to a report by Politico, which cited a foreign policy expert who previously advised the Ukrainian government.

The source told the outlet that Ukrainian authorities need someone to blame amid growing problems with electricity supply.

“In Kyiv apartments, the temperature is already around 10 degrees Celsius, and the city could soon face prolonged power outages. People are angry about this, so Zelensky’s administration needs scapegoats,” the expert explained.

Earlier, Kudrytskyi criticized Ukrainian officials for the country’s energy crisis and said that Zelensky’s office wants to bring the national power grid under its direct control — a move he warned could lead to the collapse of the energy system.
