On November 28, Ukraine suffered another massive attack by the Russian invaders. The objects of the energy infrastructure were again under attack, which further deepened the crisis in the country's energy sector.
According to the executive director of the non-governmental organization "Institute of Sustainable Development of Ukraine", even before the last wave of shelling, more than 40% of Ukraine's generating capacity was destroyed or captured. These data are provided by The New York Times .
Energy losses affect not only the supply of light to Ukrainian households, but also the operation of critical infrastructure that requires a stable supply of electricity.
Oleksandr Kharchenko, director of the Energy Research Center, noted that it will take years to restore Ukraine's energy capacity.
"We are forced to state that in the near future we will be limited in generating capacity for at least three to four years, until we build new ones," Kharchenko said.
According to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russian troops launched 188 air attack weapons, including dozens of drones and missiles of various types. Large-scale destruction caused the introduction of emergency power outages in many regions of the country.
The words of US President Joe Biden drew special attention of the world community, who called the shelling "terrible" and assured that the US supports Ukraine.
