Ukraine’s energy minister Herman Halushchenko insisted on Wednesday that the current power supply restrictions for industrial enterprises are temporary, resulting from unexpected issues at generation facilities. He also reminded that Ukraine’s grid operator chose not to cut power to households.
“There haven’t been any returns to blackouts. This is a temporary situation. Unfortunately, restored generation facilities can occasionally fail. This has happened, but all these issues will be resolved, and the situation will stabilize,” he stated.
The minister also pointed to a significant reduction in electricity imports to Ukraine, which are currently down to about 100 MW.
Halushchenko explained that a special policy has been developed for businesses, allowing companies to import up to 80% of their required electricity, with Ukraine supplying the remaining 20% to prevent outages. However, businesses have yet to take advantage of this option.
He urged the public to rely only on official sources, trying to play down rumors widespread power outages can soon hit households too.
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.

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.
