Ukraine increases power exports and imports in June, analyst says
The consultancy also said Ukraine had also increased power imports by 5% to 204 MWh.
The consultancy provided no explanation for the changes.
Market sources say long, sunny days have allowed more power to be produced at solar plants, but the ongoing campaign of repairs at nuclear power units has forced the import of power at night.
Ukraine had no power exports in June 2024 while imports were several times higher, ExPro noted.
The consultancy said Ukraine had exported power to Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Moldova and Poland.
Ukraine started large power exports to EU before the Russian invasion in 2022 but then switched it off after Russia damaged Ukrainian power generating facilities.

Nicola Sturgeon's attainment gap regret comes too late and more must be done
"Her regret is welcome but it comes way too late. It is a pity that she didn't do more to fix the problem when she was in power." Nicola Sturgeon has finally admitted what everyone else realised some years ago – that she and her party have failed to close the attainment gap. The former first minister won 10 elections in a row as her party dominated poll after poll. But she asked voters to judge her on whether she could close the gap between rich and poor kids when it comes to education. Exam results published this month showed the SNP is on course to miss their target next year – and that improvement is happening at a glacial pace. Yesterday, as she officially launched her new autobiography, she spoke of her regret at failing on that key policy. And so the country must judge her on that basis – as she asked us to – and conclude that she failed on her most important mission. Sturgeon had some positive policies which had a big impact on reducing poverty. The Scottish Child Payment is one example of that. But promising – then failing – to reduce the gap between the richest and poorest kids in Scotland is now her most damning political failure. Her regret is welcome but it comes way too late. It is a pity that she didn't do more to fix the problem when she was in power. Secondary school pupils from the poorest backgrounds continue to perform significantly worse in exams than those from the richest. Working class kids all over Scotland are still not achieving their potential as a result. Never Forget Eighty years ago today the world had been at war for six long years. But on August 15, 1945, Victory over Japan Day – or VJ Day – the guns finally fell silent. The fighting stopped and people across the world breathed a sigh of relief. World War II was over. Today, all across Scotland and around the globe, people will come together to honour the millions who gave their lives in the fight against fascism and hail the dwindling number of survivors. Some of those who fought tell their stories in the Daily Record today, some of them pleading for the horrors of world war never to be repeated. As US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin prepare for their summit to end the war in Ukraine, it must be hoped that they will heed this warning from history. Those in positions of power must never allow such a destructive global conflict to happen again. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Aggression only leads to defeat, Taiwan president says on world war anniversary
TAIPEI, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Aggression only leads to defeat and as authoritarianism once again gathers strength, it is important that freedom and democracy prevail, Taiwan President Lai Ching-te said on Friday marking the end of World War Two, in a pointed message to Beijing. Taiwan has this year sought to cast the war as a lesson to China, which views the democratic island as its own territory, to show how aggression will end in failure, and to remind the world it was not the government now in Beijing that won the war. The Chinese government at the time was the Republic of China, part of the U.S., British and Russian-led alliance, and its forces did much of the fighting against Japan, putting on pause a bitter civil war with Mao Zedong's Communists whose military also fought the Japanese. The republican government then fled to Taiwan in 1949 after finally being defeated by Mao, and Republic of China remains the democratic island's official name. Late on Thursday, Taiwan said it had banned government officials from attending next month's military parade planned by Beijing to mark the end of World War Two, along with former senior defence, intelligence and diplomatic officials, though that does not include ordinary members of the public. If former officials insist on going, penalties would include the revocation of pensions, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Office said. China's Taiwan Affairs Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In a post on his Facebook account that did not directly mention China, Lai said the war served as a stark reminder to the world that peace is priceless and war has no winners. "World War Two was a catastrophe in history, triggered by the personal ambitions of a few dictators, extreme ideologies and military expansionism," he wrote. Today, people in Taiwan take freedom, democracy, peace and prosperity for granted, but lessons from history must be learned, Lai added. "The most valuable lesson of World War Two is that unity leads to victory, while aggression leads to defeat." China labels Lai a "separatist", and has ramped up military activities around the island, including holding large-scale war games. Lai rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims, saying only Taiwan's people can decide their future.

Hong Kong democrat Jimmy Lai trial delayed over heart problems
HONG KONG, August 15 (Reuters) - The closing submissions in a national security trial against Hong Kong pro-democracy businessman Jimmy Lai were delayed on Friday after his lawyer said he had suffered heart palpitations. The closing submissions will recommence on Monday after the court adjourned to allow Lai, 77, to obtain medication and a heart monitor. Lai, who founded the Apple Daily newspaper that was forced to close after a police raid and asset freeze in June 2021, has pleaded not guilty to two charges of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces, and a charge of conspiracy to publish seditious material. Some Western governments, including the U.S., have called for Lai's immediate release, saying the trial is politically motivated under a years-long national security crackdown in the China-ruled financial hub. U.S. President Donald Trump said in a media interview on Thursday that he would "do everything I can to save him."
