Estonia said on Thursday it has transferred one of its energy units from the Auvere power plant to Ukraine. According to Ukraine’s energy ministry, the unit can provide electricity for approximately 150,000 people.
The transfer was part of agreements reached between Ukraine’s deputy energy minister Mykola Kolisnyk and Estonian prime minister Kristen Michal.
The unit was dismantled at the Estonian power station in Auvere that is located 20 kilometers from Narva. Constructed between 1963 and 1973, the plant boasted a total capacity of 1,615 MW as of 2005. Estonian officials revealed the decesion to give it to Ukraine was made in May 2024 long after the unit was put out of action.
Andres Vainola, a member of the management board of Eesti Energia, compared the dismantling process to what children do when they take disssamble a Lego set into parts.
Eesti Energia earlier said that 2 out of 8 Auvere plant units are ready to be shipped to Ukraine, while the remaining ones are set to be used as spare parts. Two additional units are expected to be transferred in 2025.
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.
