Yesterday evening, from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the Ukrainian power system received emergency assistance from the Romanian power system to cover the evening peak consumption due to the insufficient total capacity of Ukrainian power plants. Currently, there is enough electricity to cover the needs of consumers, but Ukrenergo is asking people to save electricity in the evening, especially from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM, by shifting the use of powerful equipment from evening hours to day or night. This will reduce the load on the power system during the evening peak consumption and help to balance the power system.
The President of South Africa has established a commission to look into the potential supply of arms to Russia. Recently, the US Ambassador accused South Africa of sending ammunition to Russia, claiming that it was loaded at one of the nation's naval bases in December of last year. This was reported by The Guardian.
Veronika, an 11-year-old from Vuhledar, has achieved her dream of being in Lviv. Miraculously, she survived the tragedy of losing all her relatives in April 2022 when the Rashists fired from a tank at the shelter of a nine-story building where Veronika and her family were hiding. Despite sustaining fragments in her brain and spinal cord, paralysis of a part of her body, damage to her left eye and the absence of a phalanx on her hand, Veronika was taken to Lviv and was able to be stabilized by doctors. On her 11th birthday, the Unbreakable rehabilitation center team arranged a surprise for her with a birthday cake, balloons, gifts, a horseback ride and a meeting with Oleksiy, the defender of her native Vuhledar.
Two police officers in the city of Boryspil, Vitalii Druzenko and Mykola Usyk, responded to a call from concerned citizens about a hawk with a broken wing found on the grounds of a multi-story building. The officers took the bird to a wildlife shelter, where it will receive care and rehabilitation. Their kind act shows that no good deed is too small.
The General Staff reported a total loss of russians for the week of May 22-28, including 3,440 personnel, 19 tanks, 159 artillery systems, 2 aircraft, 2 helicopters, 8 rocket launchers, 2 anti-aircraft systems, 51 armored combat vehicles, 174 unmanned aerial vehicles, 66 vehicles and fuel tanks, and 26 pieces of special equipment (radar, electronic warfare). This does not include the wounded and captured russians, so the actual losses are even higher.
President Zelenskyy presented to the Verkhovna Rada a draft resolution proposing sanctions against Iran for a period of 50 years.
