Thanks to a more stable energy situation in the first half of the year, the NBU reduced the analysis of electrical deficiency by 1% in 2025.

Thanks to the operation of the energy industry, the power deficiency in Ukraine in 2025 was lower than the predicted earlier. It was stated in July Inflationary report Ukraine national bank.

Despite the new damage to the energy system, work repair continues in 2025, especially to restore shunting developing capacities. Thanks to a more stable situation in the first half of the year, the NBU reduced the prognosis of electrical deficiency from 3% (according to April estimates) to 1%.

According to the updated estimates, in 2026 the deficiency will also be 1% considering imports. Whereas in 2027 a lack of electricity was unexpected.

The national bank’s note that such low indicators will not have a significant impact on the speed of economic growth. In addition, a less need for emergency nutrition will reduce business costs and weaken inflationary pressure.

However, the risks will remain. In the case of a faster stabilization of the safety situation, the speed of repair may increase, however, with it, the demand for the electricity of businesses and households will increase.

At the same time, the threat of new attacks on energy infrastructure from Russia remains. Such blows can not only limit energy production, but industry delivery is also complicated, which negatively affects GDP.

The national bank also indicates that increasing business costs to sources of power sources or importing gas may boost inflation risks.

However, rapid restoration of gas manufacture, generation and development of renewable energy can ensure the stability of the energy system and support economic growth even in the conditions of new challenges.

Earlier it was learned that Ukraine increased the power of exporting electricity – up to 650 MW. Currently, our country has been in power with all neighboring European countries.

In Rada, they warned the lack of electricity to tag -day

0

Germany announced the strengthening of Ukrainian air defense.

On Friday, August 1, the German defense Minister Boris Pistorus announced because Berlin will put two Patriot air defense systems in Ukraine after reaching the US agreement that Germany will be the first in the queue to receive new systems and not transmitted. This was reported by Reuters.

Germany can first provide Ukraine with launchers, and then additional components of the patriots system, ”he said.

The initial installations will come to Ukraine in the coming days. At the second stage, German will transmit additional components of the system over the next two to three months.

Instead, Germany will become the first country to receive new patriotic systems of the latest generation at an accelerated pace.

The new bill, in particular, provides for the use of interest received from frozen Russian properties in the United States to supply KYIV assistance.

The US Senate has introduced a Bicom -Party Bill to allocate Ukraine assistance for $ 54.6 billion. This occurs against the background of strengthening attacks from Russia and the failure of peace negotiations that occurred through Washington. It reports about it The New York Times.

Beginners are Senator-Republican Lisa Murkovsky from Alaska and Senator Democrat Ginn Shahin from New Gampshire.

The funds are provided for the direct supply of weapons to Ukraine, as well as for the replenishment of American arsenals over the next two years. It is hoped that up to a third of financing will be given revenue from frosting Russian properties and the sale of weapons to European allies. The main component of the value will be directed at the purchase of new weapons rather than transferred to KYIV earlier.

The bill significantly expands the powers of the US president for independent approved military assistance in Ukraine – without the consent of Congress. Instead of current $ 100 million, these powers can grow to $ 6 billion in 2026 and 2027.

Ukraine received the final basic assistance package in April 2024 – by $ 61 billion.

From the beginning of the entire Russian invasion of Russia in February 2022, the United States approved five bills to support Ukraine for $ 174 billion. Senators believe that the new package that could be the first under Trump’s presidency will show the stability of American support and convince critics, which clearly shows the benefits for the United States.

However, so far only Republicans have expressed support for the bill. Among them is Senator Mitch MacConnell.

“The President of the United States recognizes Putin’s signals more clearly. He is correct when he approves a second penalty and allows the supply of deadly weapons in Ukraine,” he said. McConnell also warned that the end of Ukraine’s armed forces “would undermine US military efforts in preparation for the modern war.”

We reminded that the US Senate Committee on Allocations earlier approved the bill for defense costs for 2026, providing $ 800 million for military assistance in Ukraine.

Earlier it was reported that in early July, American and congressmen senators sent a letter to the head of Pentagon Pentagon Pete Gagsett, who was asking to cancel the decision to freeze the supply of ammunition and weapons in Ukraine.

As you know, on July 23, the United States approved the sale of two military aids in Ukraine for 322 million dollars.

Pork and dairy products are more expensive than Polish, due to industrial structural problems, while chickens and eggs are cheaper due to the effectiveness of large manufacturers and economies from the scale.

In the national bank, it is noted that the price scene price is partly determined by the Purchase Power of the Ukrainian buyer. The rapid estimate of prices for major European level products can cause a significant collapse in domestic or reorientation demand for cheaper replacement goods.
