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.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
