Yurii Boiko, advisor to the Prime Minister of Ukraine and a member of the supervisory board of Ukrenergo, expressed the opinion that restrictions on energy supply, which began on May 14, may last until August-September. In winter, electricity shortages will remain even at high temperatures.
‘If we talk about the restrictions that started a day ago, then we will have to live in these conditions, according to my estimates, until August. In August-September, I expect a slight improvement due to various factors,’ he said.
During this period, nuclear power plants will come out of the active phase of repairs, and there will be more solar generation in the power system. The load on the power system will also be reduced due to warm, but not too hot, weather.
Boiko explained that with the decrease in temperature in May, the population began to actively use heating devices. This led to a deficit in the energy system, even taking into account the active import of electricity.
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.
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.
