On the eve of Ukraine's Independence Day, six employees of OSR "DTEK Networks" were honored with state and departmental awards for their professionalism, courage, and contribution to ensuring reliable electricity supply in wartime conditions. According to the release, distinctions from the President of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, and regional authorities were awarded to energy workers from the Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, and Donetsk regions, who daily restore war-damaged networks and bring light back to Ukrainians.
State orders for network restoration
Among the recipients is DTEK "Dnipro Energy Networks" electrician Andriy Savruk, who was awarded the Order "For Merit" of the III degree. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, he has been involved in restoring the operation of energy facilities after shelling in Dnipropetrovsk and other regions. DTEK "Donetsk Energy Networks" foreman Dmytro Kremenetskyi received the Order "For Courage" of the III degree; he ensures the operation of energy facilities in Donetsk region and oversees their restoration after Russian attacks.
Departmental and regional awards
Certificates of honor from the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine were awarded to energy workers who participated in restoring the damaged energy infrastructure of Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, and the Donbas regions. It is specifically noted that one of them — Zhilyav — sustained serious injuries as a result of an airstrike while carrying out work near the front line. DTEK "Odesa Energy Networks" employee Mykola Beizerov was awarded a certificate of honor from the Odesa Regional Military Administration for diligent work and dedication to his profession.
Context: a series of award events in DTEK's energy sector
The awarding of six employees fits into a broader cycle of recognition of the company's energy workers' labor. Previously, according to the same materials, ten DTEK energy workers were honored with state awards from the President of Ukraine for restoring electricity after shelling. Thus, departmental and state distinctions have become a regular tool for supporting personnel working in the combat zone and near it.
Contradictory data
The release states six recipients, however only four are named in the text — Andriy Savruk, Dmytro Kremenetskyi, Zhilyav, and Mykola Beizerov. The remaining two individuals, according to the logic of the report, belong to the group of recipients of the Cabinet of Ministers' certificates of honor, which are not fully disclosed in the provided text. Additionally: external sources found confirm the series of award events at DTEK (including for the resilience of the energy system and preparation for winter), but do not contain an independent list of exactly six recipients, so the exact composition of the group of Cabinet certificate recipients remains not fully verified.
