On Wednesday, DTEK’s, Ukraine’s major energy company, said the it has lost ‘about 90%’ of thermal power generation capacity after Russia stepped up attacks on Ukraine’s energy cites.
“Over the past three months alone, the enemy has launched seven massive attacks on our thermal power plants. As a result, about 90% of DTEK’s thermal generation capacity has been damaged or destroyed,” the energy company revealed in a statement.
Overall, the company’s thermal power stations have been attacked more than 180 times. Repair work can reportedly cost some 14–16 billion hryvnas ($350–400 million).
DTEK company says they are doing their best to address the situation. In 2024, the company has invested over 1.4 billion hryvnas into repairs and restoration. In addition, 3.9 billion hryvnas will be set aside for this year’s restoration campaign.
“Given the scale of the destruction, recovery will go at a gradual pace,” said Ildar Saleev, DTEK Energy CEO.
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.

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.
