Due to the stable operation of the energy system, Ukrainian industry increased electricity consumption by more than 27% in January.
This winter, Ukrainian industry consumes significantly more electricity than last year.
In particular, in January, enterprises consumed 27.2% more than in the same period last year.
Electricity consumption by the population also increased.
In January 2024, household consumers used 13.5% more electricity than in the same period of 2023.
‘It’s been a year that Ukrainians have been living without hourly blackout schedules. We are finishing this winter stably – with light and warmth, despite all the negative forecasts. We managed to achieve this thanks to the strengthening of air defense and a large-scale repair campaign in energy, which will continue in the future,’ said energy minister Herman Halushchenko.
The result of the large-scale repair campaign is the stable operation of the electricity generation during the past year.
In general, electricity was produced in January 2024 by almost 23% more than in the same period of 2023.
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.
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.
