Ukrainians will have to cope with extended emergency power outages after Ukraine’s power grid operator, Ukrenergo said on Thursday it is bringing strict power supply restrictions due to the damage to energy infrastructure caused by a missile and drone attack on Nov 28

For household consumers, the power outage schedules will be as follows:

  • 00:00 – 06:00 — One group of consumers will be disconnected
  • 06:00 – 14:00 — Two groups will be disconnected
  • 14:00 – 18:00 — Three groups will be disconnected
  • 18:00 – 22:00 — Two groups will be disconnected
  • 22:00 – 24:00 — One group will be disconnected

Industries and businesses will experience power restrictions all day long on Friday.

Ukrenergo said its crews are  working to repair the damaged infrastructure as quickly as possible, but timing and extent of outages may change depending on the situation.

Consumers are encouraged to reduce power usage to help ease the load on the grid.

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.
