💡 Why is the electricity bill rising even when appliances are off? Energy vampires are devices that consume energy in standby mode: TVs, set-top boxes, chargers. A fridge near a radiator, a kettle with limescale, washing at 90°C — all this also increases expenses. 💰 Savings start with small habits: unplug appliances, wash at 30–40°C, run machines only when fully loaded. 🔄 Old appliances (10+ years) can consume 2–3 times more than modern ones. #energy #savings #household #2026

🛢️ Russia will not be able to maintain the July growth in oil production in August 2026. 📉 Despite a rise of 100,000 barrels in July, new attacks on refineries (Yaroslavl, Ryazan) and a shortage of tankers in the Black Sea will force a reduction in production. 🇺🇦 The SBU confirmed strikes on "Slavneft-YANOS" deep inside Russian territory.

🏠 In 2026, the real estate tax in Ukraine brings only 2.2% of all revenue to local budgets. 6.1 billion UAH was collected in 6 months. ⚖️ Why the system doesn't work? The current model takes into account only the area, not the cost. An apartment owner in the center and in a village pays the same for "extra" meters. This is recognized as unfair even in the Verkhovna Rada. 📉 Reform is overdue The transition to assessment by market value was planned for 2024–2025, but the key Cabinet of Ministers resolution has not been adopted. The State Property Fund admits the delay. 🔮 What will happen next? The new model is supposed to appear by 2027–2028, but deadlines are under threat. Owners of elite housing should prepare for a tax increase if the reform does take place.
