During the meeting, the Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Halushchenko discussed with the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Rafael Grossi the issues of nuclear safety and ensuring the operation of Ukrainian nuclear power plants.
The meeting took place in Vienna, where the Ukrainian minister is participating in the meeting of the IAEA Board.
Herman Halushchenko informed the head of the agency about the situation in the Ukrainian energy system, which has become much more complicated after Russia’s renewed massive attacks on energy infrastructure facilities.
The minister emphasized that the Russian Federation is targeting thermal and hydroelectric power plants, transformer stations and power transmission lines.
The minister reminded that in November 2022, during Russian attacks, there was a blackout of Ukrainian nuclear power plants. In this context, the parties discussed the need to coordinate efforts to prevent the recurrence of such a situation.
Herman Halushchenko also informed Raphael Grossi about the active work on the construction of units 3 and 4 at the Khmelnytskyi NPP.
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.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
