The management of Centrenergo company assures that the Trypilska thermal power plant in Kyiv region, which was destroyed by Russian missiles on April 11, can be restored.

According to Andrii Hota, some of the ballistic missiles that the enemy attacked the TPP with were shot down, however, those that hit destroyed the thermal power plant. This happened due to the lack of missiles for the air defense.

Despite the destruction, the official assured, the Trypilska TPP can be restored. However, this will be possible only with the support of international partners.

He added that Centrenergo has already received several promises to provide the necessary equipment from European countries.

Regarding the expediency of restoring the TPP, according to Hota, if Ukraine does not receive enough missiles for air defense systems, then it will be in vain.

Yesterday, it was reported that Russia destroyed Trypilska power plant during the night missile attack.

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.).

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.
