Yesterday, the russians targeted the rear solar power plant for the first time.

Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, chairman of the board of NEC "Ukrenergo", announced this.

He noted that as a result of warming, the total consumption of electricity is falling, so there is no acute deficit in the energy system.

The Neutron Source subcritical facility was de-energized due to the shelling of Kharkiv.

This was reported by the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate.

The emergency power supply system operated normally, and emergency diesel generators were switched on. The radiation situation at the site is within normal limits.

The report says that the shutdown threatens an emergency situation at the plant, as it may be out of touch with the main power system.

The government allocated UAH 1 billion for the arrangement of shelters in hospitals.

This was announced by the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Health, Medical Assistance and Medical Insurance, Mykhailo Radutskyi.

According to him, the priority is the construction or repair of shelter facilities in facilities of a capable network in the front-line territories.

Latvia will transfer 1 million euros worth of drones to Ukraine and contribute 10 million euros for the purchase of shells.

This was stated by his Latvian colleague Evika Silinia at a joint press conference with the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal in Riga.

"Already this month, the next package of military aid is expected, including material and technical means, ammunition and weapons that we have," she said.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has published an explanation regarding the cancellation of the "limited fit" status.

The law will enter into force on May 4. Citizens who currently have the status of "limited fitness" must re-pass the MMC within 9 months, that is, until February 4, 2025.

After re-examination, servicemen who are found unfit will be released from military service, and those who are fit will continue their service.

The photo shows the wreckage of one of the drones that attacked Kharkiv this night. The inscription on the drone reads: "For Crocus City Hall!!!"

Recall, last night the Russian army attacked Kharkiv with drones. At least 10 people were killed. The strikes hit residential buildings. Rescuers who arrived at the scene of the first explosion were killed by a second strike.

Like a 90% chance Russia did this themselves to increase recruitment, 10% it was Ukraine or someone who supports Ukraine trying to destabilize Russia.

I doubt it. The fuselage looks like a series of cheap to manufacture flat or easily shaped surfaces, possibly plywood. It also looks like the outline of the ribs in the wings are visible possibly indicating aircraft fabric covering.

Could be the design is cheap to mass produce, light weight, has a low radar signature and only has to be strong enough to survive 1 takeoff and 0 landings.

Hopefully, someone that knows more about aircraft will weigh in on this.

That was never Russia's goal. They always wanted ALL of Ukraine. ALL of Ukraine doesn't want Russia's rule. That was the problem before 2014, Russia was ruling by corruption and proxy. The public had a enough of that crap and being held down

You think if Russia assassinates Zelensky the war will end?

You really think the only thing holding back a Ukrainian surrender is Zelensky? Ukraine has been at war with Russia since 2014.

So your official position is that foreign governments around the world should assassinate the leaders of other countries with whom they have disputes?

Or in this case, should the assassinate when/if their military invasion fails? Or should assassination by the primary policy followed by invasion?

And: what charade are you talking about? The charade of Russia being a good faith participant in the world fabric of foreign policy and economic trade?

You might have a point there.
