The power system is still in a significant deficit. Today, no limits were exceeded and no emergency blackouts were implemented by Ukrenergo. Several thermal power plants were taken offline for technical reasons, meaning that electricity generation from the remaining plants is not enough to meet the demand. The repair of the energy infrastructure damaged during the large-scale attack on January 26 is still ongoing.

The Belarusian Ministry of Defense has announced the commencement of new exercises with Russia. These exercises will involve the planning of the use of troops from both countries. During the week, representatives from the military departments of the two states will use the experience of recent armed conflicts to discuss the decision-making process for the use of a regional grouping in order to ensure the military security of an allied state.
Generations will look back at this time and wonder, “what on God’s green earth were humans thinking electing such an absolute incompetent criminal.”
