Light that did not give up: the true story of a great struggle

In the turbulent days of November 2022, when russian missile strikes caused the largest systemic failure in Ukraine's power grid and plunged the country into darkness, only clear coordination and quick decision-making helped energy workers to restore power to nuclear power plants and the entire power grid in record time by international standards. Among those who stood at the control panel of Ukraine's unified power grid, supplying power to substations, was Serdar Charyev, senior dispatcher of the centralized dispatch control center of NEC Ukrenergo and a graduate of KPI.

A model for effective war waste management is being developed at the FMM

Environmental crimes committed by russian troops cause irreparable damage to the environment. Natural resources suffer from bombing and mining of territories, construction of fortifications, and destruction of buildings. According to KOVA, as of the beginning of 2024, more than 28.8 thousand objects were damaged in the Kyiv region. Among them are almost 26 thousand private and multi-storey buildings. We need to not only get rid of this garbage, but also apply an ecological principle to its disposal. Sort, recycle and reuse the material.
