In recent months, the enemy has caused more than $1 billion in damage to the power system. Damages will increase due to daily attacks on various types of energy facilities.
What is the amount of damage caused by Russian strikes on the Ukrainian energy grim?
According to Minister of Energy Herman Galushchenko, the main casualties of the mass attacks were the objects of heat- and hydro-generation and the electricity transmission system.
At the same time, daily attacks on various types of energy facilities by drones, ballistics, or artillery continue.
Today, we are talking about more than a billion dollars worth of losses. But the attacks continue, and it is obvious that the losses will increase, Galushchenko said.
Thanks to favourable weather, balancing the energy system with renewable energy sources is currently possible.
The help of international partners is being enlisted to carry out restoration and repair works, as well as to increase the capacities of the shunting generation, the message says.
