After months of Russian bombardment, Ukraine will once again export power

During Russia’s attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, power sub-stations like this one in Kharkiv were reduced to twisted metal chunks.

After being repeatedly attacked by Russia for months, Ukraine is now allowed to export power for the first time in six months.

In October, Russia started its protracted and planned attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

Power outages and planned blackouts resulted, putting villages and cities in the dark throughout the winter.

Ukraine will be free to sell its surplus energy once again after being ordered to halt exports.

While domestic clients are still given precedence, energy minister Herman Halushchenko issued an executive order authorizing the shipments.

For nearly two months, the system has been creating surplus capacity, according to him, and Ukrainians are not subject to any limits.

The most challenging winter is over, Mr. Halushchenko said on Friday.

The next stage is to begin exporting power, which will enable us to draw in more financial support for the essential rebuilding of the damaged and devastated energy infrastructure.

He also lauded the engineers’ and worldwide collaborators’ “titanic efforts” in repairing the system.

Residents in Ukraine told the topnewsplanet last month that the electricity supply was becoming more dependable.

A young mother in Dnipro named Inna Shtanko said, “The city has changed.” “Street lights are returned, and it’s safe to traverse the city streets once again.”

Ukrenergo, the company in charge of running the nation’s energy grid, has cautioned that Ukraine cannot rely on Russian assaults ceasing.

On Saturday, Ukrenergo said that Russia had so far throughout the conflict fired more than 1,200 missiles and drones against its energy installations.

The attack, according to the business, was the biggest effort to bring down the electricity infrastructure of a European nation.

During winter, with power outages and frigid temperatures, some residents were forced to utilize “resilience centers” in cities around Ukraine to stay warm.

Power, heat, and essential supplies like food and medications were all delivered via the hubs.

When Russia started attacking energy infrastructure, all of Ukraine’s thermal and hydroelectric power facilities suffered damage.

The largest nuclear power plant in Europe, located in Zaporizhzhia, is now under Russian authority, and Kyiv has lost control of it.

By the end of the year, Ukraine had said in June 2022 that it hoped to earn €1.5 billion (£1.33 billion) from power exports to the EU, which has been the country’s primary energy export market since the conflict started.

Once Finland joins, Nato’s border with Russia doubles.

  The flying of Finland’s white and blue flag on a vacant flagpole at NATO headquarters When Finland becomes the Western alliance’s 31st member, the Finnish flag will be hoisted at the Nato headquarters in Brussels. The US secretary of state and Finnish President Sauli Niinisto will attend a ceremony to officially join NATO. The addition of Finland is a blow for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who often bemoaned Nato’s growth before to his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia’s border with NATO members has now doubled in length. In response to Russia’s conflict, Finland and Sweden officially asked to join NATO in May. Finland and Russia share an eastern border of 1,340 km (832 miles). They had both previously decided to follow a non-alignment policy. Nevertheless, after the invasion of Ukraine, they decided to rely on NATO’s Article 5, which states that an assault on one member is an attack on all. That effectively implies that all Nato countries, including the US, would defend...

NFTs and Rolexes were abandoned by the crypto brothers.

  Even while the wealthiest art collectors are currently on a tear, the recent financial crisis might alter everything. Sales of art-related tokens increased to $2.9 billion in 2021 as crypto bros spent their earnings on NFTs and Audemars Piguet watches.  The wealthy inhabit a distinct economic environment. That much is evident from all the Dior purses and Cartier watches they purchase, but it is made abundantly plain when you consider all the works of art they amass. According to the most recent state-of-the-industry assessment by art economist Clare McAndrew for Art Basel and UBS Group AG, global art sales will reach $67.8 billion in 2022. It represented a 3% gain from 2021 when sales recovered 31% from the pandemic-related low point in 2020. The American market drove the art business last year, just as it does in the worldwide luxury sector. After Leonardo Da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi, which fetched $450 million in New York in 2017, Andy Warhol’s Shot Sage Blue Marilyn, which ...
