As a result of the surplus of electricity in the energy system of Ukraine, its surplus was transferred to Poland. A sudden decrease in electricity consumption and warming led to the surplus.

Repairs of two power units of thermal power plants are expected to be completed during the day.
During the night of February 5, electricity was exported to Moldova, while imports were planned for the whole day from Slovakia, Poland, Romania, and Moldova.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine.

According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
