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.

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.

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.
