Over the weekend, Odesa region experienced one of the most massive Russian attacks. The enemy deliberately targeted electricity distribution and transmission facilities, including substations operated by NPC Ukrenergo. This was reported by Oleksandr Havva during a live broadcast of the United News national telethon.

According to him, the shelling damaged energy, transport, industrial, and civilian infrastructure facilities. Emergency repair and restoration works began immediately once the security situation allowed.

The heroism of Chornobyl liquidators is one of the most defining chapters in Ukraine’s modern history. Chornobyl is not only a reminder of the world’s largest technological disaster. It is also a testament to Ukraine’s responsibility in safeguarding nuclear safety across the European continent.

Today, nearly 385 employees in the Exclusion Zone are former liquidators, about 8 percent of the workforce. At the Chornobyl NPP alone, 230 liquidators continue to serve, carrying out their duties through some of the most challenging periods of the new millennium.

While performing their official duties, a crew of JSC Sumyoblenergo came under attack by an enemy drone. The incident occurred while the service vehicle was en route from a repair site.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Russia continues its deliberate terror against civilian energy infrastructure and its workers, who risk their lives every day to restore electricity supply for Ukrainians.

Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine Oleksandr Viazovchenko, on the instruction of the leadership of the Ministry of Energy and the Government, is coordinating the work of the Anti-Crisis Headquarters for the restoration and stabilization of the functioning of energy infrastructure in the southern regions of Ukraine. All relevant authorities are involved in its work.

Acting Minister of Energy of Ukraine Artem Nekrasov paid a working visit to the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant.

During the visit, Artem Nekrasov, together with Member of Parliament Oleksandr Danutsa and Acting Chairman of the Board of JSC “NNEGC Energoatom” Pavlo Kovtonyuk, inspected critical infrastructure facilities and reviewed the progress of repair and restoration works at the plant, as well as the operation of equipment ensuring the stable functioning of the nuclear facility.

Why is there less electricity in Kyiv than in Lviv? Why, overall, are outage schedules more “lenient” in western regions? This question is among the most frequently asked on social media. The answer lies not in unfairness, but in physics.

The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine is shaping its gender policy with a clear understanding of the challenges posed by wartime conditions, when equality becomes a prerequisite for system stability, state resilience, and post-crisis recovery. These challenges are reshaping both the social and professional landscape of the energy sector.

This was emphasized by Roman Andarak, Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine, during the conference “Energy Without Gender,” organized by the Women’s Energy Club of Ukraine.

Deputy Ministers of Energy of Ukraine Mykola Kolisnyk and Olga Yukhymchuk held a meeting with directors of the Eastern European departments of the foreign ministries of the Nordic-Baltic Eight countries-Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.

The situation in Ukraine’s power system remains difficult due to another wave of Russian attacks. Overnight, the enemy struck energy infrastructure facilities in Odesa region. As of the morning, more than 90,000 consumers were temporarily left without electricity. Critical infrastructure facilities are operating on generators. Restoration works are ongoing.

The leadership of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine participated in a meeting of the Anti-Crisis Energy Headquarters on preparations for the autumn-winter period of 2025/26, chaired by Prime Minister of Ukraine Yuliia Svyrydenko.
