According to our sources, power supply problems are causing supply disruptions. This causes serious difficulties in logistics, especially in the army sector, making it difficult to transfer military equipment and supply food, fuel and other necessary materials. Damage to the 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 casualties. The executive director of DTEK, Dmytro Sakharuk, emphasized that the scale of the destruction hampers the rapid recovery of Ukraine's energy system. According to him, this requires the efforts of all parties, including energy companies, government structures and donor aid.
Serhiy Kovalenko, CEO of Yasno, expressed outrage at the potential shortage of electricity in the summer as a result of missile attacks on energy facilities. In particular, the attacks severely damaged generating facilities, including thermal power plants and hydropower facilities, disrupting Ukrenergo network nodes and other key facilities. He also noted that the recovery process could take a long time, even months.
An expert on missile and nuclear disarmament, Oleksandr 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 stockpile under sanctions.
These attacks not only damage the energy infrastructure, but also create psychological pressure on Ukraine's allies to force the government to negotiate with Russia.
