Ukrenergo has announced that rolling blackouts will be in effect across Ukraine on Friday, November 22. Citizens are urged to conserve electricity during these planned outages. The outages will have several zones
- 6:00 – 7:00: One blackout group affected
- 7:00 – 18:00: Two blackout groups affected
- 18:00 – 22:00: One blackout group affected
Ukrenergo said the power supply restrictions are a “temporary measure’ to balance the hobbled power system after it suffered significant damage to energy facilities during the massive missile and drone attack on November 17.
Energy repair crews are scrambling to fix the damaged sites as fast as they can, according to Ukrenergo.
It also warned that the scope and timing of outages might change during the day, meaning that residents will need to check real-time updates on their regional power company’s official website or social media.
To avoid overloading the system, residents are asked not to turn on multiple high-power appliances when power is back.
On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
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.).
