“Their tactics have changed – unfortunately, not for the better for us,” Svitlana Grynchuk, Ukraine’s deputy energy minister, told CNN. In the first two years of war, Russian attacks were more scattered, firing salvos of missiles to target large swathes of Ukraine’s energy system. More than 200,000 people were left without power after Russian attacks Thursday. But Ukraine is now confronting a wholly different task: repairing not just substations, but entire power plants. Rather than rebuilding large – and, without air defenses, vulnerable – power plants, it may shift how it produces its energy.

Biden sought to kickstart SAF production with a $1.25 per gallon production tax credit in the IRA. To be eligible for the credit, SAF producers must demonstrate their fuel is 50% lower in emissions than conventional jet fuel. The DOE spokesperson confirmed that ethanol producers must cut emissions of they want a long-term role in SAF production. Still, ethanol producers need carbon pipelines because many ethanol plants are not near geologically appropriate underground storage sites. Other options for reducing ethanol's carbon intensity include using renewable energy at ethanol plants, or climate-friendly farming practices for corn.

Ukrainian attacks on Russian commanders have undermined Russian command-and-control capabilities. They have forced Russia's military and others around the world reconsider how they set up command posts. An Australian army HX77 truck moves command-post components into place during Talisman Sabre on July 21. An Australian army engineer digs a headquarters battle hide during Talisman Sabre on July 20. Ukrainian attacks on command posts across the country have led to stunning attrition among senior Russian military leaders," the authors added.

Kyiv last week replaced the Soviet hammer and sickle symbol with a trident – the Ukrainian coat of arms – on the shield of the Motherland Monument, which dominates the capital’s skyline. Its construction began in 1979, and it depicted a woman holding a sword and a shield emblazoned with the Soviet hammer and sickle symbol. Workers remove the Soviet-era emblem from the motherland monument in Kyiv on August 1, 2023. And they don’t know how.”Putin’s desire to undermine Ukrainian national identity and autonomy has remained a key motivation for the conflict. Kudrya, meanwhile, was a Soviet spy and a leader of a sabotage group in Kyiv during World War II.

☆ As Russia Strikes Ports, Ukraine’s Farmers Scramble to Keep Exporting

Last week, Valentin Pavlenko loaded two tipper trucks with grain from his farm in southern Ukraine. The high-stakes standoff over grain that is escalating tensions in the Black Sea and raising worries over the global food supply is also creating challenges for farmers across southern Ukraine. Not only must Mr. Pavlenko and others like him find alternate shipping points, but they also have to worry about whether they are secure. Mr. Pavlenko’s farm had already donated some of its trucks to the military. But when the Russians struck Reni, too, last week, the farmers’ collective he belonged to scrambled to collect money to buy three flatbed trucks for the Ukrainian army, so they could install air defense systems that would protect the Danube ports.

☆ Ukraine resumes exporting electricity to Europe after Russia fails to destroy its power grid
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-11 | by ( Associated Press | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

Exports stopped in October after Russia attacked Ukraine's power grids, a move some said amounted to war crimes. Russia ramped up infrastructure attacks in September, when waves of missiles and exploding drones destroyed about half of Ukraine's energy system. Ukraine needs funding to repair damaged generation and transmission lines, and revenue from electricity exports would be one way to do that. The first country to receive Ukraine's energy exports will be Moldova, he said. Engineers sped up the process to link Ukraine to the continental grid, allowing it to decouple its power system from Russia.

Opt persoane au avut nevoie de îngrijiri medicale, după ce au fost luate de puhoaiele, care au inundat oraşul. Potrivit primarului Ianina Pavlenko, un pacient a fost operat la gleznă, iar alţi şapte au suferit diferite traume, ce nu necesită internarea în spital. În imaginile postate de martorii oculari se vede cum viitura spală totul în cale, iar oamenii sunt pur şi simplu luaţi şi duşi de ape.
