Referring to the data of the cafe and restaurant automation company Poster , we found that massive shelling of civilian infrastructure and a total blackout had almost no effect on the number of operating establishments, but affected their turnover.

On November 16, after the massive shelling of civilian infrastructure and the first blackout, the number of operating institutions did not change significantly. The exception is Zhytomyr and Odessa regions, where the largest drop in the number of operating establishments was recorded – -5% and -3% per week, respectively.

The turnover of cafes and restaurants fell by an average of 8%. Most of all establishments “sank” in Chernivtsi (-15%), Ternopil (-14%) and Khmelnytsky (-13%) regions.

The shelling of civilian infrastructure and  the second blackout on November 23 also had little effect on the number of operating establishments. Cherkasy and Rivne regions suffered the most (another -4% over the week), Ivano-Frankivsk, Vinnytsia and Ternopil regions (-3%).

However, there is also a region where there were more active establishments during the week  — this is the Zhytomyr region (+4%).

On average, the second blackout reduced the turnover of cafes and restaurants in Ukraine by 8% over the week. Turnovers sank the most in Kirovohrad (-16%), Volyn (-14%), Mykolaiv (-13%), Odesa (-12%), Kyiv, Poltava and Chernihiv regions – -11%.

“Power outages are forcing restaurateurs to adapt the work of establishments: reduce opening hours, reduce menus, cook only cold dishes, fire up the grill on the street, work by candlelight. However, those entrepreneurs who have already installed generators feel better and even see growth in the box office. Establishments become at the same time work hubs where you can work on your laptop while there is no electricity at home, and invincibility points where you can charge your phones and warm up,” Rodion Eroshek, CEO and co-owner of Poster cafe and restaurant automation company.

As the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Tax and Financial Policy Danylo Hetmantsev noted, the main reason for the increase in the state debt in October is external borrowing to finance the budget deficit. In particular, in October, Ukraine received 2 billion euros of macro-financial assistance from the EU, 550 million euros from the EIB, 1.3 billion dollars from the IMF, and 0.5 billion dollars from the World Bank.

At the same time, these loans are provided on preferential terms and for long terms.

The Irish regulator has fined Meta (formerly Facebook) €265 million after the data of more than half a billion users was exposed on a hacked website.

This is reported by the AFP agency .

The commission found that Meta violated two articles of EU data protection legislation.

Meta’s European operations, like a number of other tech giants such as Google and Apple, are based in Dublin. The Irish regulator is therefore the lead body responsible for holding these companies accountable.

In addition to the fine, the commission said it “issued a reprimand and an order” requiring Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg to “bring its data processing into compliance (with the law) by taking a series of corrective actions within a specified period of time.”

The Irish regulator launched its investigation in April 2021 to determine whether there had been a breach of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in terms of data security and relevant Irish legislation. Thanks to GDPR, which came into force in 2018, social media users have gained more rights to manage their own digital data.

Facebook previously said that data from the platform was stolen by hackers in 2019 who used a feature to find friends using contact lists.

The Model 3 redesign was codenamed Highland and was designed to reduce the complexity and number of components used to produce the Tesla sedan.

Reconstruction can include changes in the exterior of the car and the performance of the transmission. It is said that the project will be based on the updated Model S of 2021. Tesla’s Gigafactory in Shanghai will begin production of the new Model 3 in the third quarter of 2023, to be joined by the automaker’s plant in Fremont, California.

It’s unclear how much Tesla expects to save on the new Model 3. The automaker currently makes a profit of about $9,500 on each car it produces. There’s also no mention of whether the next-generation 4680 batteries will be included in the update. In 2020, Elon Musk said the new battery design would allow Tesla to produce a $25,000 electric car within three years.

However, the production date may change. More precise data about the terms are not provided, and the company is not too used to keeping its promises. For example, when Tesla first announced the Cybertruck, Elon Musk said mass production would begin in 2021. First, this date was moved to 2022, and later to 2023.

The Tesla Model 3 was originally designed as an electric car for the masses, and its price was supposed to start at $35,000. But once production started, the car was only available at that price for a short period — and only as a special order. This version had a slightly worse interior – for example, there were cloth seats and an open storage bin on the center console, but no phone chargers. The cost of the most affordable Model 3 starts at $46,990.

By design, the Model 3 already has a radically simplified interior compared to other cars in its class, with just a single infotainment screen, no instrument panel, and limited switch buttons that don’t even have full wiper controls. Some of the initial series had a quality soft Alcantara-style headliner before Tesla switched to a different material.

The reason for the temporary suspension of the work of the McDonald’s company in Kazakhstan was the termination of cooperation with Russian supplier companies and the exhaustion of stocks.

This was reported by Reuters with reference to sources.

According to the interlocutor, the company Food Solutions KZ LLC, owned by the well-known Kazakh businessman Kairat Boranbayev, and which owns a license to operate McDonald’s in Kazakhstan, started looking for suppliers in other countries because it stopped buying Russian products.

Another source said the company had to cut back on its menu in recent months and was running out of packaging materials imported from Russia. The spokesperson added that the licensee is now awaiting deliveries from other suppliers and plans to reopen its restaurants in December.

It is currently unclear at what level the decision was made to abandon Russian suppliers.

It is noted that Marr Russia, one of the Russian suppliers of the Kazakh company, said that it never worked directly with McDonald’s, but dealt with its Kazakh logistics partner HAVI.

It will be recalled that the McDonald’s company announced that it will temporarily suspend the work of all its restaurants in Kazakhstan from November 18 due to supply restrictions.
