Russian military fired on one of the thermal power plants of DTEK
On November 27, as a result of shelling, one of the DTEK TPPs located in the front-line region was damaged. Fortunately, there were no casualties. As a result of the shelling, residents of one of the settlements near the station found themselves without electricity.
The company reports severe damage to its equipment. After the end of the shelling, the energy industry began to eliminate its consequences and is making every effort to restore the power supply as soon as possible.
It is noted that DTEK synchronizes its actions with "Ukrenergo" to maintain the reliable operation of the Ukrainian energy system.
It is added that this is the fifth attack on one of the company's front-line thermal power plants over the past month.
What is known about the preparation of the Russian army for massive missile attacks on Ukraine
Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the NSDC, noted that the Russian occupiers are stockpiling missiles for massive attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure in winter. Still, the energy industry and the government are doing everything to prepare for such a scenario.
Ukraine is working to strengthen its air defenses, replacing outdated Soviet systems with modern Western-style systems to protect critical infrastructure next winter.
According to Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko, Ukrainians should not believe the dire forecasts of experts regarding the threat of massive blackouts in winter because the stable operation of the energy system will depend on the process of air defense systems, which are currently much more potent than last winter.
The minister emphasized that even if damage is detected as a result of shelling and missile attacks by the criminal army of the Russian Federation, it will only be temporary.
