Ukraine’s grid power operator Ukrenergo said rotating power outages will last over 15 hours nationwide on December 10. Consumers are urged to conserve electricity.
For residential users, outages will follow this schedule:
- 7:00 – 8:00: One outage period
- 8:00 – 19:00: Two consecutive outage periods
- 19:00 – 22:00: One additional outage period
For industrial and business sectors, power restrictions will apply from 7:00 to 22:00.
These temporary measures were prompted by damage to energy infrastructure during a massive missile and drone attack on November 28.
Repair efforts on affected facilities are ongoing, with energy teams scrambling to restore damaged equipment as quickly as possible.
The timing and scope of outages may change throughout the day. Updated schedules for specific regions will be available on the official websites and social media pages of local power distributors.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.
The 157th Separate Mechanized Brigade has received another batch of supplies as part of Rinat Akhmetov’s Steel Front military initiative. This time, the military received seven quad bikes and four mobile shower and bath units.
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. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. 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. 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.
