Today was the most massive attack on energy infrastructure facilities in the last year, that's for sure. We can say that along with today's attack, the Russians have repeatedly attacked 136 energy infrastructure facilities in Ukraine, starting with a large-scale invasion.

Zaporozhzhia was under massive attack today. Only the HPP itself was been hit eight times, that is, eight missiles hit this important object for Ukraine, which performs not only the energy component, but also other functions, Belousov said.

Russia attacked the Dnipro HPP
The Dnipro HPP in Zaporizhzhia was attacked by the Russians on March 22. A fire broke out there. Due to the shelling of the city, the road crossing of the Dnipro HPP dam is entirely restricted.
Traffic is carried out through the Arch Bridge. Khortytsia (Serhiy Tyulenin St. — Sichi St. — Taganska St.). And also through Novi Mosty and Khortytskyi district.
Because of this, there is a threat of a blackout at the Zaporizhzhia NPP, the line to the ZNPP has been de-energised.
In addition, the head of "Ukrhydroenergo" Ihor Syrota also reported that two direct hits were made at the Dnipro HPP-1 and HPP-2.
For today, there is the fact that we are losing the station. HPP-2 is under threat, we don't know in what volume and with what power it will be able to operate. It is because of the hit, because two missiles flew directly at HPP-2, — said the head of "Ukrhydroenergo" Ihor Syrota .
