Due to the decrease in temperature throughout Ukraine, the level of electricity consumption continues to rise.
On January 8, the daily maximum consumption was in the evening and it was 9.5% higher than the corresponding indicator on the previous working day, January 5.
As of today, the consumption continues to grow and is 5.8% higher than yesterday.
In general, the production of electricity in Ukraine meets the consumption needs.
However, a significant increase in consumption creates a significant additional load on power plants, which are already operating at maximum capacity. Most thermal power plants are still recovering after Russian missile attacks and solar power plants cannot work at maximum capacity due to dense clouds and bad weather.
The company urges the population to use electricity sparingly.
Earlier, the energy ministry reported electricity disruptions in more than 1 000 towns and villages of the country.
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.

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.

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.
