Attacks:
Donetsk region In the last 24 hours, 10 settlements of the Donetsk region, including Mariupol,
Lyman and Avdiivka were shelled from aircraft, multiple launch rocket
systems "Grad", tanks and heavy artillery, killing 2 civilians and injuring 8, as
the National Police reported. The shelling damaged at least 33 residential
facilities, including homes, schools, health facilities and utilities. After the
partial evacuation of civilians from the territory of the blocked Azovstal Iron &
Steel Works facilities in Mariupol, the enemy continued to fire on the territory,
including buildings where civilians were hiding from danger, from aircraft,
naval artillery and tanks. As a result of the bombing, a large-scale fire broke
out.
Luhansk
region
Every day, 7 enemy aircraft fire on the free cities of the region, reported the
Luhansk Regional Military Administration Head Serhii Haidai. During the day,
the Russian troops opened fire 25 times on residential neighborhoods in the
region. At least 12 houses in the Hirske community were damaged; in the
village of Orihove 10 houses have burned; in the city of Severodonetsk – 5
houses were destroyed; in the city of Zolote - 2 houses were destroyed.
In the city of Rubizhne, the occupiers destroyed a modern elevator complex;
according to Serhii Haidai, the Russians aimed to organize a famine in
Ukraine, for which they were destroying agricultural enterprises, food
warehouses and were stealing grains to Russia. There was no centralized
water supply in all settlements due to the destruction of collectors, pumping
stations, power disconnection of facilities; just 6 settlements remained with
gas supply (3 completely and 3 partially).
Kharkiv region During the day, the Russian occupation forces fired on the city of Kharkiv
twice with multiple launch rocket systems strikes and once with artillery,
reported the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration Head Oleh Syniehubov.
In the Kharkiv district, a fire broke out at one of the enterprises, the premises
were severely damaged, and one person was killed. The occupiers shelled
the cities of Zolochiv, Barvinkove, Derhachi and Chuhuiv; active hostilities
continued in the Izyum area.
Odesa region On May 2, the Russian military launched a missile strike on one of the city's
infrastructure facilities, reported the Odesa Regional Military Administration
Head Maksym Marchenko. One child was killed and another was injured in
the attack, and a religious building was destroyed.
Mykolaiv
region
According to the Operational Command "South", during the day industrial
facilities of Mykolaiv and nearby areas were fired on by multiple rocket launch
systems, but no one was injured. According to the Mykolaiv Regional Military
Administration, as of May 3, since the beginning of the Russian invasion,
3,000 residential facilities were partially or completely damaged in the region,
in particular 2,154 facilities of housing stock, 250 electricity, 109 gas, 49
heating and 8 water supply facilities.

3. The difficult situation with water supply due to damage to the Dnipro-Mykolaiv
water supply system was being resolved by local authorities and with the
humanitarian support of neighboring regions. So far, technical water was
being delivered to the city's residents. Also, losses of the local DSO
Mykolaivoblenergo from military operations only in the territory controlled by
Ukraine reach 350 million UAH, as the acting CEO Vadym Danylkiv reported.
Kherson region According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian
occupiers were artificially creating and exacerbating humanitarian and
economic crises in the temporarily occupied territories. There was a shortage
of medicines in the settlements, banking institutions were not functioning,
mobile communication and the Internet connection were missing. The British
IT company NetBlock reported that, on April 30, Russia completely
disconnected the region from Ukrainian providers, and later redirected
Internet traffic through its communications infrastructure. It is likely that the
Internet connections in the occupied region would become subject to Russian
regulations, surveillance and censorship. On May 3, mobile communication
was restored in Kherson and surrounding settlements, but the Internet
connection was still missing.
Zaporizhzhia
region
According to the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, as of May 3,
709 households were completely destroyed or partially damaged in the
region. During the day, the occupiers opened fire on the village of
Zaliznychne, damaging 12 houses and an educational institution; two people
were killed. In the city of Orikhiv, new damages to low-pressure inlet gas
pipelines were recorded; and the rescuers localized 2 fires.
Nuclear and Radiation Safety:
As of 08:00 on May 3, all operating NPPs of Ukraine are operating normally, and the radiation, fire
and environmental conditions at the station sites and adjacent territories are within the standards. 7
out of 15 nuclear units were in operation (two each at Zaporizhzhia, South Ukraine and Rivne and
one at Khmelnytskyi NPP), the other 8 were under repair or put in reserve. All NPPs regularly
transmit data from station monitoring systems to the IAEA.
According to the Acting President of Energoatom Petro Kotin, Ukraine has a two-year reserve of
fresh nuclear fuel, which will allow NPPs to operate stably during this period without additional
supplies. In addition, the company has completely refused any further supplies of nuclear fuel from
Russia and plans to develop its domestic production using Westinghouse technology. Also,
according to Energoatom, the company has the ability to export electricity to the EU in the volumes
of 700 MW with the prospect of increasing to 2,000 MW.
Chornobyl NPP
Exclusion Zone
Zaporizhzhia NPP
At the Chornobyl NPP site, the stable remote transmission of data from
the monitoring systems to the IAEA continues to be restored. In addition,
individual dosimetric control of the personnel has been completely
restored, which allows control of the received radiation dose for each
employee and prevents excessive radiation exposure.
For two months in a row, the Zaporizhzhia NPP and the satellite city of
Energodar have been under the control of Russian terrorists. The ZNPP

4. units are serviced by Ukrainian staff with proper rotation. At the same
time, the nuclear and radiation safety of the station remains under threat,
as personnel are unable to perform their duties and rest properly during
the occupation.
As of May 3, the radiation background (8-12 μR/h) on the territory of the
ZNPP industrial site and the sanitary protection zone is within the
standard. In the Zaporizhzhia region, the gamma background also
remains stable (7-14 μR/h) and does not pose a threat to life and public
health.
Meanwhile, as reported by the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine,
the suspicion to the Russian general Alexei Dombrovskiy, who,
according to investigators, was directly involved in the capture of ZNPP
and Energodar, was reported in absentia.
The presence of Russian terrorists at nuclear facilities poses extremely high threats to
nuclear and radiation safety on a global scale! Ukraine demands to recognize the actions of
Russia and Rosatom as nuclear terrorism, which aims to intentionally violate the security of
nuclear power plants, international law and basic human rights with the aim of genocide,
ecocide and encroachment on the country's sovereignty.
We call on international partners to increase pressure on the IAEA, whose actions may
prevent acts of nuclear terrorism by Russia. At the same time, it is critical to minimize
Russia's influence on IAEA policies and activities, in particular by removing all Russians from
key positions in the Agency's Secretariat and restricting their access to information about
Ukraine's nuclear power plants.
We also emphasize the need to impose severe sanctions on the management, staff, products,
international projects of Rosatom and, in general, the nuclear energy of the aggressor
country!
Electricity Sector:
Power system operation
For more than 1.5 months, Ukraine's power system has been stably operating in trial synchronous
mode with the Continental Europe network (ENTSO-E). The current cross-border capacity is 2 GW,
however, the trial mode does not provide for full-fledged exports/imports of electricity. Also, from the
beginning of May, commercial electricity exports to Poland were suspended.
All types of power plants continued to operate according to the dispatching schedule. On May 1, as
reported by Ukrenergo, over 80% of electricity was produced by carbon-neutral generation (nuclear,
RES, hydropower and pumped hydropower facilities), which is 3.5% higher than on the same day in
2021.
Ukrenergo continued to restore the main power networks. In particular, in the northern Ukraine
repairs were being conducted on the substation and 750 kV line. In the Kyiv region, reconstruction
of 330 kV lines was underway. Repair crews work on seven sites at once - gusts are eliminated,
damaged cables, lightning protection, etc. are replaced.

5. Electricity market performance
Day-ahead market (DAM): The weighted average purchase and sale price of electricity continued
to grow slightly - up to 2,345.54 UAH/MWh (+1.2% vs the previous day). At the same time, as of May
3, exchange prices in most Eastern European markets almost did not change, which has kept their
gap with Ukraine at a stable level. Prices in the markets of Romania, Slovakia and Hungary were
almost equal and app. 3 times higher than the Base DAM price index of Ukraine, while the price
spread with the Polish market has continued to gradually decrease (1.5 times).
As for May 3, the total volume of trading on DAM showed positive dynamics for 3 days in a row and
amounted to 37,800 MWh (+23.1% vs the previous day). At the same time, the persistence of a clear
opposite trend in reducing the volume of sale bids - up to 135,637.6 MWh (-24.4%) led to a further
significant decrease in market surplus. The gap with the volume of purchase bids decreased from
5.8 to 3.6 times. The structure of electricity purchase on DAM has somewhat changed: 90.5%
belonged to suppliers, 9.4% to system operators, 0.1% to traders and producers
Intraday market (IDM): On May 2, the weighted average price of electricity on IDM continued to
increase moderately to 2,872.4 UAH/MWh (+5,6% vs the previous day). At the same time, the total
volume of trading showed a rapid recovery. It more than doubled to 601.4 MWh (+114.3% vs the
previous day). At the same time, due to a significant reduction in supply - up to 37,404.6 MWh (-
19.9%), market surplus continued to decline, but still remains high. In particular, the gap with the
volume of purchase bids dropped from 167 to 62 times. The structure of electricity purchase on IDM
has changed significantly: 75.8% belonged to producers, 22.2% to suppliers and 2% to network
operators.
Disruption and resumption of supply
According to the Cabinet of Ministers, as of 20:00 on May 2, 819 settlements were disconnected
from electricity, a total of almost 680,400 consumers. During the day, electricity supply was resumed
to app. 31,700 consumers.
Large-scale power supply disruptions and, consequently, active recovery works were taking place:
• in the Donetsk region, according to the Cabinet of Ministers, supplies to 400 consumers
were resumed during the day; over 296,000 consumers remained without electricity supply;
according to DTEK, in April the company has resumed power supply to almost 300,000
consumers in 329 settlements;
• in the Luhansk region, according to the Regional Military Administration, as of 09:00 on May
3, 42 settlements – 29 completely and 13 partially (99,295 consumers) were without
electricity supply;
• in the Kharkiv region, according to the Cabinet of Ministers, supply was resumed to 5,500
consumers during the day; while 181,000 consumers were without electricity supply;
• in the Kyiv region, according the DTEK, as of 16:00 on May 2, 17,700 consumers in 30
settlements were without electricity supply; supplies to 2,160 consumers were resumed
during the day; in April, supply to 226,750 customers in total was resumed;
• in the Zaporizhzhia region, as of 20:00 on May 2, 22,615 consumers in 73 settlements did
not have electricity; power supply to 4,135 consumers was resumed during the day;
• in the Mykolaiv region, according to the Cabinet of Ministers, supply to 1,300 consumers
was resumed during the day;
• in the Dnipropetrovsk region, supplies to 484 consumers in 8 villages were resumed on
May 1-2;
• there was no up-to-date information on power supply in the Kherson, Sumy, Chernihiv
regions at the time of the review preparation.

6. Gas Sector:
As of May 1, the transit of Russian gas through the territory of Ukraine significantly increased and
amounted to 93.8 mcm, which is 24 mcm over the previous day level. At the same time, these
volumes still account for less than the capacity contracted by Gazprom (109 mcm per day). There
were no physical imports of gas from the EU reported.

Disruption and resumption of supply
The Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Kherson, and Mykolaiv regions had the
most challenging situation in gas supply. According to the Cabinet of Ministers, as of 20:00 on May
2, over 206,500 consumers were left with no gas supply; gas supply was restored to 2,400
consumers in a day.
In the Donetsk region, the local DSO reported networks of different pressures and diameters (15 to
133 mm) were affected over the last 24 hours. As a result, 3 additional consumers were left without
gas, and quick bandage repairs prevented the disconnection of 54 consumers. Gas supply to 277
households was restored due to repairs.
According to the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, the situation with gas supply remained
critical: there were only 6 settlements (3 completely and 3 partially, 45,315 consumers) with gas
supply.
The Kharkiv Regional Military Administration reported a resumption of gas supply in 2 settlements
(the villages of Mala Rohan and Cherkaska Lozova, the latter of 500 consumers). Repair works were
underway in the city of Balakliia. Restoration of critical infrastructure continued 24/7.
According to the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, as of the morning on May 3, 68,712
consumers in 88 settlements remained without gas supply. Last night, in the cities of Orikhiv and
Huliaipole, the damage received to distribution gas pipelines was eliminated the same day. At the

7. same time, new damages to low-pressure inlet gas pipelines were reported due to the shelling in the
city of Orikhiv yesterday.
In the Kyiv region, as of May 3, gas supply restoration was completed in 118 settlements (in total,
114,724 consumer facilities). In the previous day, gas supply was partially restored to 2,559
consumer facilities in 3 settlements. 5 settlements remained without gas supply completely or
partially (34,651 consumer facilities).
The Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration reported that, as of May 3, the number of damaged
infrastructure facilities amounted to 109, and 1,792 consumers remained without gas supply.
Restoration works were underway.
The Chernihiv Regional Military Administration Head Vyacheslav Chaus reported some districts in
the city of Chernihiv, which suffered earlier from the occupiers shelling, remained without gas supply.
Operational information on gas supply in the Kherson and Sumy regions was not available at the
time of the review preparation.
Countermeasures of Ukrainian Companies
and Public Authorities
In a joint press conference with the Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod, the Minister of Foreign
Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba highlighted the future EU membership of Ukraine. He noted that
the EU decision to grant or not to grant Ukraine the prospect of membership will be an important
signal for the Kremlin. According to Kuleba, the war will continue as long as Putin believes that
Ukraine has been left at a crossroads. That is why the EU must continue the course it took after
February 24 and promote Ukraine's European integration as much as possible.
The Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Ihor Zhovkva in a meeting with the ambassadors of the
EU member states, who resumed work in Kyiv, urged to impose the 6th sanctions package against
Russia, which must include an embargo on Russian oil, disconnection of all Russian banks from
SWIFT and a ban on Russian channels broadcasting in the EU. The embargo was also mentioned
by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi in the evening video address.
The Acting President of Energoatom Petro Kotin announced a complete refusal to purchase Russian
nuclear fuel. It is also planned that, in the next two years, Westinghouse would increase the
production of nuclear fuel to the volumes needed by the Ukrainian company. In addition, Energoatom
plans to develop domestic production using Westinghouse technology.
The Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development supported the development of a plan
for Ukraine's economic recovery. At the meeting, 9 principles on which the plan should be based
were presented:
• Full access to the markets of the EU and the G7;
• Obtaining the candidate status, and then - full membership in the EU;
• Developing the economy based on deregulation and liberalization;
• Establishment of logistical routes in the western direction;
• Transition from exports of raw materials to processing in those industries that provide largest
export revenues;
• Development of military-industrial complex;
• Self-sufficiency in energy by increasing own gas production and development of nuclear
capacities;
• Climate-friendly modernization, creation of new facilities in various industries on the principles of
"green economy";
• Localization at the level of 60% minimum.

8. The State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine (SAEE) published for
discussion the draft procedure for systematization of information on certification of corporate energy
and/or environmental management systems. According to the draft, the certification authorities will
provide the SAEE with information on the certification of corporate systems in a certain form, and
the Agency will form and maintain a registry of such enterprises.
