According to our sources, power supply problems are causing supply disruptions. This is causing serious logistical difficulties, especially in the military sector, making it difficult to transfer military equipment and supply food, fuel and other necessary materials. Damage to energy infrastructure plays a key role in these problems.
If the attacks on the power system continue, the front will feel it extremely hard, and will likely suffer losses. DTEK Executive Director Dmytro Sakharuk emphasized that the scale of the destruction is hampering the rapid restoration of Ukraine's power system. According to him, this requires efforts from all parties, including energy companies, government structures and donor assistance.
Serhiy Kovalenko, CEO of Yasno, expressed his outrage over the potential electricity shortages in the summer as a result of missile attacks on energy facilities. In particular, the attacks severely damaged generating capacities, including thermal power plants and hydroelectric facilities, disrupting Ukrenergo network nodes and other key facilities. He also noted that the restoration process could take a significant amount of time, even months.
An expert on missile and nuclear disarmament, Alexander Kochetkov, noted that the Russian attacks were carefully prepared, targeting the most vulnerable points of energy supply. He also emphasized Russia's ability to increase its missile stockpiles under sanctions.
These attacks not only damage energy infrastructure, but also create psychological pressure on Ukraine's allies in order to force the government to negotiate with Russia.
