Russian Attacks on Ukraine’s Energy Infrastructure: Consequences and Challenges for the Winter
A new wave of energy warfare has pushed Ukraine to the brink of an energy crisis.
Russian forces again targeted critical energy infrastructure in the Chernihiv region, leaving over 17,000 residents without power.
On the night of Saturday, October 18, according to ‘Chernihivoblenergo,’ Russian troops deliberately struck an energy facility in the Korukivskyi district, causing a blackout.
Currently, specialists are working tirelessly to restore power and mitigate the effects on the population and industry.However, this attack is just one part of a broader shift in Russian tactics.
Instead of sporadic strikes on individual power stations, Russian forces are now aiming to destroy entire energy zones, including substations and distribution stations, making the situation more dire.
