The situation in the energy sector of Ukraine is so difficult that its residents need to prepare not for blackout schedules, but for switching on schedules during the upcoming heating season.
As the mayor of Dnipro Filatov noted, in the absence of electricity, there will be no water supply, and it is impossible to keep the critical infrastructure of a large city on generators.
Earlier, the European Union said that 70% of all energy capacity was destroyed in Ukraine. In the country, electricity is cut off for 10-12 hours a day.

Experts predict that China's natural gas consumption will grow by an average of 7.7% this year compared to last year, reaching 425 billion cubic meters. Despite proportional growth in domestic gas production, it will only meet half of the required volume.
It's worth noting that China's natural gas consumption has been increasing year after year: in 2023, it was 394.5 billion cubic meters, up 7.6% from 2022. The country is also boosting domestic production through the development of new fields and increasing imports. In the first half of the year, China produced 123.6 billion cubic meters of natural gas, 6% more than the same period last year. Imports of natural gas for January-June rose by 14.3% to 64.65 million tons.
I wonder what country could satisfy that demand

This seems to be the group, that had the clashes with the Mali (military) government and the Wagner mercenaries. This group seems to have been allied to the Mali government before the coup, but to oppose the junta. It is opposing AQIM all the time. But now it seems to cooperate with Ukraine!

Ukrainian special forces ‘in Sudan operating against Russian mercenaries’

Ukrainian special forces are reportedly operating in Sudan in support of the country’s army against Russian Wagner mercenaries aligned with the rebel Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to a video released on Monday.

Previous videos have circulated showing Ukrainian-style kamikaze drone strikes against RSF forces – leading to reports that have tentatively concluded that the operations were conducted by special forces from Kyiv – and a pale-skinned sniper operating in Sudan, who has been described as Ukrainian on social media.

Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, met Sudan’s army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, at Ireland’s Shannon airport in September. “We discussed our common security challenges, namely the activities of illegal armed groups financed by Russia,” the Ukrainian leader said at the time.
