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. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [DTEK energy workers awarded for their contribution to the resilience of Ukraine's energy system](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/energetikiv-dtek-nagorodili-vnesok-stiykist-1788184962.html) - Тематически соответствует событию о награждении энергетиков ДТЭК; не содержит полного поименного перечня шести награжденных. - [Zelensky's award to energy director Borichevskyi for defending the energy system](https://novosti.ua/society/zelenskiy-nagradil-direktora-pridneprovskoy-tes-za-rabotu-v-usloviyah-voyny) - Контекстный источник: подтверждает отдельное наградное событие в ДТЭК, не относящееся к перечню из шести. - [Energy minister awarded 40 DTEK miners and energy workers for winter preparation](https://www.unian.net/society/ministr-energetiki-nagradil-40-shahterov-i-energetikov-dtek-za-podgotovku-k-zime-13447416.html) - Контекстный источник: отдельное массовое награждение, не совпадает с текущим перечнем. - [Zelensky awarded the director of DTEK's Prydniprovska TPP with the "National Legend of Ukraine" award](https://www.unian.net/economics/energetics/zelenskiy-nagradil-direktora-pridneprovskoy-tes-dtek-nagradoy-nacionalnaya-legenda-ukrainy-13481445.html) - Контекстный источник: отдельное массовое награждение, не совпадает с текущим перечнем. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: How many DTEK energy workers were awarded on Independence Day? **A:** The release states that six employees of OSR "DTEK Networks" were honored with state and departmental awards. ### Q: Who received the state orders? **A:** DTEK "Dnipro Energy Networks" electrician Andriy Savruk received the Order "For Merit" of the III degree, while DTEK "Donetsk Energy Networks" foreman Dmytro Kremenetskyi received the Order "For Courage" of the III degree. ### Q: What were the energy workers awarded for? **A:** For their professionalism, courage, and contribution to ensuring reliable electricity supply in wartime conditions, including the restoration of damaged networks in Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, and Donetsk regions.
