The head of Ukrenergo Volodymyr Kudrytskyi said that the situation with the electricity supply in Kharkiv could improve in about a week.

‘The most difficult situation is in Kharkiv. We have three options on how to ensure an increased supply of electricity to the city’s consumers, we follow these three paths in parallel,’ he stated.

He also told about the terms of improving the situation in the city.

‘I don’t want to make predictions, because the situation is really difficult, and I don’t want to make promises that we can’t fulfill. But I think that at the end of next week or days 8-9, it will be possible to significantly improve the situation with the city’s energy supply,’ Kudrytskyi said.

He stressed that the repair teams are doing their best to restore the electricity supply in the city.

‘We know exactly what to do. It is necessary to understand that the restoration of the electricity supply in any region is a matter of time. Somewhere it can be done within a few hours, somewhere it can be one or two days. Somewhere like Kharkiv, unfortunately, takes more time,’ the CEO explained.

Kharkiv energy infrastructure suffered severe damage during Russian attacks on March 22.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now.

It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.

Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
