Doesn't it seem odd Ukraine has a general financial crisis - manifesting itself by way of its coal and electricity crisis - and yet is supposedly supported by the US and EU ? Russia now supplying coal and electricity to ukraine - in addition to natural gas !

Zaporizhia NPP restarts 3rd reactor unit shut down by automatic protection system week ago
The Zaporizhia nuclear power plant started to bring its reactor unit up to a minimum controllable power level at 04:27 Kyiv time on Friday, state-run Energoatom nuclear power company said.
The reactor unit will be connected to the power grid before 23:00 Kyiv time on the same day in accordance with the maintenance schedule.
The automatic protection system disconnected the third reactor unit of the Zaporizhia NPP at 19:24 Kyiv time on November 28 due to damage caused to the coil connecting the house load transformer and unit transformer breakers. The automatic protection system responded in strict compliance with the protocol.
"The cold shutdown of the reactor proceeded normally, without radiological consequences," the NPP administration emphasized.
The unplanned disconnection of the third reactor unit of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant has been tentatively assessed as a "below scale/level 0" event by the INES International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale. This event has no safety implications.
The Zaporizhia NPP is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe by its rated capacity. Its six VVER-1000 reactor units were built by the Soviet project V-320. The first reactor unit was started up in December 1984 and the sixth in October 1995.
Energoatom is the operator of all four nuclear power plants currently working in Ukraine: the Zaporizhia, Yuzhnoukrainsk, Rivne and Khmelnytsky power plants with 15 pressurized light water reactors and a total rated capacity of 13.835 gigawatts.

Energy minister believes Ukraine should start importing electricity from Russia
Energy and Coal Industry Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Demchyshyn has said that the launch of imports of electricity from Russia is a required step.
"I know that we're holding talks on imports of electricity. I can say for sure that at least this is a required step, despite its political difficulty," he said at a briefing in Kyiv on Wednesday.
He did not manage to specify the exact terms of starting imports of Russian electricity, adding that it could start in coming days.

Ukraine reduces electric power supply to Crimea causing
blackouts
The reduction of Ukrainian electric power supply to Crimea has caused blackouts in the republic and Sevastopol, DTEK Krymenergo and Sevastopolenergo said on Wednesday.
Blackout schedules were put into place in the morning of December 3, the companies said.
Only one in four high-voltage lines transmitting Ukrainian electricity to Crimea is now operating; its capacity is 330 kilovolts, DTEK Krymenergo said. Another three power lines with an overall capacity of 880 kilovolts have been disconnected after a decision from Ukraine. NPC Ukrenergo stopped the operation of the last of the three lines on Wednesday morning.
