Russia's Intensifying Attacks on Ukraine's Power Grid

Russia has significantly escalated its attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, making the current electricity situation worse than last winter. DTEK, a major energy provider, reports that while they were prepared for attacks, Russia's changing tactics and increased intensity have led to a sharp rise in strikes. In just three days, there were 78 strikes, compared to 11 massive attacks in the whole of 2022. Both power plants and electricity transmission facilities are now under attack, leading to widespread outages. In Kyiv, entire neighborhoods received electricity for only an hour and a half over the past day. Meanwhile, Russia continues to target energy facilities in other regions, such as the Dnipropetrovsk region, causing damage and fires.
