Ukraine may have fewer rolling blackouts in late July, according to Yuriy Boyko, Ukraine’s state grid operator representative.
“The situation will be rough till the 20th of July. Starting from the 20th, when some of our energy facilities will be up and running again after repairs, and it will increase our energy generating capacity and make current power outages shorter,” said the official.
Boyko though cautioned that the grid systems will still deal with energy shortages.
It’s worth noting that many customers and businesses are now facing long and frequent power cuts this summer as the combination of the damage caused by Russian strikes and recent heat waves have put a strain on Ukraine’s energy grid.

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.
