Russia has knocked out or captured more than half of Ukraine’s power generation, spurring rolling blackouts nationwide and heightening fears about the future of energy supplies to Ukrainian cities and EU customers. Prior to Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, Ukraine’s domestic energy production was around 55 gigawatts of electricity, among the largest in Europe. That power generation capacity has currently dropped below 20GW, due to bombardments or to Russian occupation taking those plants offline, according to Ukrainian officials. Since March, “Russia has destroyed [a] whooping 9.2GW of energy generation” in Ukraine. One of the officials said 1.2GW of power generation was lost in Saturday’s bombardment alone, while infrastructure critical for transporting gas from underground storage facilities in western Ukraine was badly damaged. #Source @Slavyangrad

⚡️ Will denunciation of draft dodgers for money be in Ukraine? The draft law on military police, which is currently being considered by the Rada, introduces the possibility of denouncing evaders and deserters for money. And also to break into the apartments of violators of military law.  Article 9 of the draft law contains a provision under which the military police may "cooperate with individuals, including on a contractual basis, observing the conditions of voluntariness and confidentiality of these relations, financially and morally encourage persons who assist in the prevention, detection, suppression of criminal offenses". Although this article does not specifically mention evaders, but lawyers interviewed by TSN believe that it is most likely about them. In the bill military police want to give the right in some cases to penetrate into the homes of violators of legislation on military service. And this includes evaders.  "In urgent cases related to saving the lives of people and property or direct prosecution of persons suspected of committing a crime, in cases and on the grounds provided by law, to penetrate into the housing or other possession of a person with immediate notification of the pre-trial investigation body and the prosecutor's office," the bill says.  "Given the fact that at the level of the bill provides for changes to the administrative code, taking into account the purpose of the creation of the military police, I can assume that it is the military police will conduct operational and search actions in relation to evaders who did not update their military registration data, did not become on the military registration, who were declared wanted and did not appear in the TCC," - said lawyer Kateryna Anishchenko.  Join Slavyangrad chat.

Biden struggled to figure out how to leave the stage after speaking to his supporters. @Slavyangrad

The US wants to loan of $50bn to Ukraine repaid by profits from frozen Russian assets if the EU can indefinitely extend sanctions against Moscow, according to a leaked paper. US needs the EU to prolong the bloc’s sanctions on Russian state assets, which expire every six months unless renewed by unanimous consent, until the end of the war to ensure the US is not left on the hook for repayments. But any such change to the EU regime would require the approval of all leaders including Hungary. This could raise as much as $50bn. Details of the loan — including term, interest rate, are unknown. The US loans are “conditional” on the EU allocating profits from the assets for repayments, and guaranteeing that “Russian central bank assets held in the EU remain immobilised until Russia has agreed to pay damages”. (There are $280B in assets that Russia could confiscate and they could refuse to pay foreign owned debt.) #Source @Slavyangrad

WASHINGTON, June 4 (Reuters) - The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation that would impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court over its prosecutor's decision to seek arrest warrants for Israeli officials related to the war in Gaza. The vote was 247 to 155, with 42 Democrats joining Republicans in backing the measure. There were no Republican "nay" votes, although two voted "present." The measure is not expected to become law, but reflects continuing support for Israel in Congress amid international criticism over the Middle East country's campaign in the Gaza Strip. The White House last month criticized the ICC's decision to seek the warrants. The bill is not expected to be brought up for a vote in the Senate, which is narrowly controlled by Biden's fellow Democrats. The legislation, opens new tab would impose sanctions on people involved in ICC prosecutions of Americans or citizens of U.S. allies that are not ICC members, including Israel. It also would block such ICC officials' entry to the United States, revoke any U.S. visas and restrict them from U.S. property transactions. Join Slavyangrad chat.
