Since February 24, 2022, Russian troops have attacked Ukrainian TPPs almost 180 times.
How many TPPs were attacked by the Russian invaders
The executive director of DTEK, Dmytro Sakharuk, spoke on the air of the Public Radio about the attacks of the Russian occupiers on the Ukrainian TPPs.
If we count from the beginning of the large-scale invasion, then the occupiers have already fired at our thermal power plants almost 180 times. This attack, on April 27, was essentially the fourth major attack after the attacks on March 22 and 29 and April 11.
