Strategy of Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy facilities


The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine has explained how the tactics of Russian attacks on energy facilities have changed and how Ukraine is restoring their operation. As reported by 'Glavkom', this was stated by the First Deputy Minister of Energy Artem Nekrasov in the program 'We are Ukraine'.



“This is not the first year that we enter the heating season, and objects are being shelled. We understand that these attacks that are being carried out affect our energy system,” - he emphasized.


According to Nekrasov, algorithms developed by Ukrainian specialists allow for the rapid restoration of damaged facilities.



“We understand that the enemy regularly changes its tactics. If two or three years ago they targeted large transmission facilities and attacked them almost simultaneously, now they act from region to region,” - explained the deputy minister.


He emphasized that Ukraine's task is to mobilize all available resources for the rapid restoration of energy facilities: “Our goal in this matter is to mobilize all possible resources of local administrations, DSNS, and analytical companies, our emergency teams, for the fastest possible restoration of all damage. This is the current situation.”



Update on the situation with energy facilities


As a reminder, as a result of a nighttime drone attack on energy facilities, some consumers in the Odesa region were left without electricity by morning. Rescue operations began immediately as soon as safety allowed.



The head of the Coordination Center for Energy Security Nikolai Kalashnikov reported that in Kyiv region, electricity supply has been fully restored after a large-scale attack by occupiers at night on October 10. At the same time, residents of Sofiivska Borshchahivka reported the lack of water and electricity for the second day, which led to protests and road blockages.
