The Ukrainian government said on Tuesday it has added more facilities to the priority list of essential customers who will be exculded from controlled rotating power outages. Under the new rules, power cut schedules will no longer apply to security and defense facilities or mobile network operators.
Key facilities that now receive priority for electricity supply include:
- Security and Defense Facilities: They are listed by relevant authorities or executive bodies overseeing military units.
- Telecommunications Infrastructure sites, including technical and structural elements of electronic communications networks, as identified by the National Center for Operational and Technical Network Management.
These sites will have priority power supply until June 1, 2025, and are exempt from scheduled hourly outages.
In addition, the priority list will include the entities classified as critical infrastructure sites:
- Critical Infrastructure with a Minimum Power Requirement of 100 kW: These facilities are part of the National Register of Critical Infrastructure.
- Border and Conflict Zone Areas: The exemption is still in place for the communities located within 20 kilometers of the Belarus and Russian borders, as well as those near active combat zones.
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.
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.
