Ukrenergo informed about the condition of the energy system of Ukraine and warned about the possibility of emergency power outages in the evening.

Experts note that after yesterday’s massive shelling of energy facilities in Ukraine, there is a significant shortage of electricity almost 24 hours a day, with the exception of daytime hours.

‘The lack of electricity is significant. In order to avoid outages of household consumers, the Ukrenergo Dispatch Center applies all possible measures to overcome the shortage: import and emergency aid from European countries, limiting the consumption of industrial consumers,’ the statement says.

Despite the taken measures, from 6:00 to 12:00 pm, capacity limitation schedules for industrial consumers will be in effect.

The company also stated that if the consumption of electricity remains high they will need to introduce emergency outages. To avoid this, the population is urged to use electricity sparingly.

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.

Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.

Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end.

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.
