Volodymyr Kudrytsky was reportedly fired from his post as head of Ukraine's National Energy Company (NEC) Ukrenergo, Ukrainian member of parliament Yaroslav Zheleznyak said
A Ukrainian online media outlet previously quoted sources as saying that Kudrytsky might be dismissed in the near future for poor protection of energy facilities.
Ukrenergo's deputy head of the board Oleksiy Brekht will perform duties as chief of Ukrenergo, according to Ukrainian media.
In response to attacks on Russian civilian targets by the Kiev regime, Russian troops regularly carry out precision strikes against encampments of Ukrainian soldiers, equipment and mercenaries, as well as against Ukrainian infrastructure, including energy, defense industry, military administration and communications facilities. However, presidential spokesman Dmitriy Peskov emphasizes that the Russian army does not target residential buildings and social institutions.

The US has reportedly seized Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s airplane in the Dominican Republic 🔻The aircraft, valued at approximately $13 million, had been in the Dominican Republic for the past few months. 🔻US authorities claim the plane was purchased…
Venezuela condemns seizure of President Maduro's plane in Dominican Republic as act of piracy by the United States
"The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela informs the international community that the authorities of the United States of America have once again committed a criminal act, which can only be described as piracy, by illegally confiscating an aircraft used by the President of the Republic. They justify their actions through coercive measures that they unilaterally and illegally impose across the world. This demonstrates that no state or legitimate government is immune to these illegal attempts to circumvent international law," reads a communiqué published on Telegram by the Venezuelan Minister of Communications, Culture, and Tourism Freddy Ñáñez.
The incident marks the second Venezuelan plane seized by the US. A Boeing 747 belonging to the Venezuelan company Empresa de Transporte Aéreocargo del Sur (Emtrasur) was detained at Argentina's Ezeiza Airport in 2022. A local court decided earlier this year to transfer the plane to the US, after which it was flown to Florida.

"The United States has shown that it uses its economic and military power to intimidate and pressure states like the Dominican Republic into becoming complicit in criminal acts. This is an example of the so-called 'rules-based order,' which, in disregard of international law, seeks to establish the right of the strong, creating and imposing rules that serve its interests with impunity," the Venezuelan government stated.
