Ukraine’s power grid operator, Ukrenergo, has announed it is bringinb back  electricity outage schedules across all regions starting Wednesday, December 26.

For Residential Consumers:

  • 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM: 1.5 outage groups activated.
  • 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM: One outage group activated.

For Industry and Businesses:

  • 7:00 AM – 10:00 PM: Full restrictions.

The restrictions are tougher now  due to damage sustained by energy facilities during the massive missile and drone attacks on December 25.

Energy workers are still restoring the damaged equipment to get the system back on track.  The duration and scale of outages may change throughout the day. It is worth noting that Ukrenergo introduced new power supply on December 16 with each of the six previous outage groups was split into 12 subgroups, allowing for more flexibility. For instance, energy providers can now cut power to only half a group instead of the entire group.

Local power operators have committed to reconnecting power within 30 minutes after an outage, ensuring a minimum of 56 hours with electricity per week, compared to 38 hours under previous schedules.

Energy officials urge all consumers to use electricity sparingly to support stabilization efforts.

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.
