| 10:00 AM | KYIV | – Yurii Boiko, Advisor to the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Member of the Ukrenergo Supervisory Board (in person) | Ukraine gears up for winter: Electricity exports resume and power grid readiness Topics of focus: – Resuming electricity exports: Under what circumstances can Ukraine export power, and what volumes are expected? – Current power system status: Should citizens brace for another wave of blackouts? – Winter preparedness: What measures have been taken so far to prepare the energy system for the cold months? – Autumn and winter projections: What can citizens expect in terms of energy stability and potential blackouts? Why is it interesting? Ukraine is set to recommence electricity exports to neighboring countries starting August 25, according to a statement from the press service of NPC Ukrenergo, the country’s power system operator. Exports will be strictly limited to periods of surplus energy, particularly during peak solar power generation. When the country’s energy demand is at its highest and capacity is strained, no electricity will be exported, ensuring domestic stability remains a priority. This move comes as Ukraine braces for the challenges of the upcoming winter, with the reliability of its power grid under intense scrutiny. |

All in person. | Interactive presentation of survey results: Satisfaction among Kyiv residents with mental health services Topics of focus: – How do individuals with mental disorders rate the accessibility and quality of services in Kyiv’s community? – What makes the survey of people with mental disabilities reliable? – What steps can be taken to enhance barrier-free living for individuals with mental disorders in society? – What are the prospects and potential impacts of the “Assistant to a Person with a Mental Disorder” service? Why is it interesting? The Public Organization “Psychability” is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for people with mental disorders and their families. With the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the number of people affected by mental health issues is on the rise. Kyiv’s community is currently grappling with a shortage of social services for this vulnerable group, alongside concerns about the quality and accessibility of medical services. A recent survey by “Psychability,” conducted as part of the “Z.N.A.M.I.” project (Strengthening, Educating, Advocating, Mentoring, Inclusively), highlights these challenges. Drawing on the successful experiences of developed countries, one promising solution is the introduction of the “Assistant to a Person with a Mental Disorder” service. This role involves providing tailored support to individuals with mental disabilities, helping them on their journey to recovery and a better quality of life. |
