Ukraine is able to export electricity for the first time in six months as its energy infrastructure recovers from months of repeated Russian attacks.
Russia began its lengthy and deliberate assault on Ukraine's energy infrastructure last October.
It led to power cuts and scheduled blackouts, leaving towns and cities in darkness during winter.
Ukraine was forced to stop electricity exports - but will now be able to sell its excess power again.
Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko signed an executive order authorising the exports, although local customers remain the priority.
He said the system had been producing extra capacity for almost two months and that Ukrainians were not facing restrictions.
"The most difficult winter has passed," Mr Halushchenko said on Friday.
"The next step is to start exporting electricity, which will allow us to attract additional financial resources for the necessary reconstruction of the destroyed and damaged energy infrastructure."
He also praised the "titanic work" of engineers and international partners to restore the system.

Can they ship some to NevaDUH?
Oh we know that can’t be true everyone froze to death and they have no more electricity and were all annihilated in the meat grinder and Kyiv fell and all the Ukrainians carried Putin on their shoulders because they are elated to speak Russian again.
At least we were annoyed with that version.
Good news. They can start repaying America our tax dollars.
Time for some additional missile waves.
LOL! Good luck with that!
can someone tell me where they’re getting their electicity from cuz it sure ain’t windmills and solar farms. totally nuke??
We gave them $125 million plus what we gave them before to fund THEIR energy. We’re paying for this “fix”.
“… The United States announced today that we will work with Congress to program an additional $125 million in funding to support Ukraine’s energy and electricity grid against Russia’s continued attacks on utilities and other civilian infrastructure. This funding would come from the recently passed Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2023.…”

because they’re being attacked by a “DINDU-NUFFIN” criminal country
Looks like the Russian missile attacks failed
Russia is unable to make missiles fast enough. They went from weekly to now once every other month. The Russians lack the components to make their missiles target
But, unlike the bullies in NATO, the Russians aren't soulless bastards that want innocence people to suffer and care about how they are perceived in the world by nations looking at the war objectively.
No worries, Russia ran out of missiles and ammo last year, according to Zeepers!
