The coordinated Russian operation to destroy Ukraine’s energy infrastructure continues with devastating results. In the past 72 hours, Russia has carried out several large-scale attacks, while a video confirms Russia’s saturation attacks (drone swarms, cheap mass missile strikes), writes Vassilis Kapoulas.

It is the first video showing a “Swarming” with Iranian Shahed-136 (Geran-2) drones against targets in the Kiev area. The video is shocking. The drones have covered the sky over the Ukrainian capital.

According to some sources, the Russians launched 30 drones from Belarus for this particular attack.

Russia’s ongoing attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure are so methodical and destructive that US officials say they are led by expert electrical engineers who know exactly which targets will cause maximum damage to Ukraine’s grid.

The geographic coverage of the bombing is wide. It is now estimated that 42% of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure has been destroyed, along with 90% of wind energy installations and 40-50% of solar energy installations!

On October 27, Ukrainian military and energy infrastructure facilities were again attacked by Russian missiles and drones.

Late in the evening, the alarm was raised in the regions of Zaporozhie, Vinnytsa, Kiev, Zhitomir, Cherkassy, ​​Dnepropetrovsk and Odessa:

  • During the nighttime attack, kamikaze drones hit installations in the Kievskaya substation. At least one 750/330 kV transformer was destroyed.
  • The smaller Belotserkovskaya substation was also affected.
  • The armed forces of the Russian Federation destroyed 1,000 MVA of electricity from the Rivne and Khmelnitsky nuclear power plants in the Kiev region.
  • At the same time, Russian drones destroyed energy supplies and military infrastructure in the city of Dnepropetrovsk and Pavlograd in the Dnepropetrovsk region.
  • Power plants in the Khmelnytsky, Volyn, Rivne, Kirovohrad, Cherkasy, Nikolaev and Odessa regions were affected.
  • An energy plant was destroyed in Lutsk and another four plants were destroyed in the south.
  • Restrictions on energy supplies were imposed in the regions of Kiev, Chernihiv, Chernykhiv, Cherkassy, ​​Zhitomir, Sumi, Kharkiv, Poltava, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye and Kirovohrad.

“Emergency situations and extended power outages in Kiev and other regions!”

The state emergency service of the Kiev region has released images of the fire that started after a nighttime bomb attack on an energy facility.

Emergency and extended power cuts have been announced in Kiev and several other regions of Ukraine (Chernihiv, Zhytomyr and Cherkasy) and will continue for at least the next few days.

In Ukraine, it was reported that some critical energy facilities have been shut down as a result of the nighttime attacks.

The power shortage in metropolitan areas is 30%.

Based on this, NPC Ukrenergo has announced that the previous blackout schedules for Kiev and the rest of the regions will be revised. The outage will be unplanned, protracted and will affect more civilians.

The Kiev city government described the restrictions imposed as harsh, lengthy and unprecedented.

Ukraine: 90% of wind power plants destroyed

Ukraine has lost 90% of its wind energy infrastructure since the war with Russia began on Feb. 24, said Ukraine’s Energy Minister Herman Khalushenko.

He noted that Ukraine is now more dependent than ever on fossil fuels and nuclear power.

40-50% of solar energy is lost

In addition, 40-50% of solar energy was lost through Russian bombing, said Energy Minister Galushenko.

The Ukrainian minister did not specify the capacity of the installations, but said Ukraine has significantly expanded its infrastructure for renewable energy production.

This was due to the fact that most green energy installations were located in the south. At the same time, their share in the total energy balance was already quite high – 10-11%.

More than 100,000 citizens are without electricity in Volyn

In the Volyn region, damage to energy installations in Kovel and Lutsk left more than 100,000 citizens without power, while some areas were left without water. Repairs will take several days, said the head of Volyn’s regional military administration, Yuriy Pogulyaiko.

In the morning, Lutsk mayor Igor Polishchuk said the city’s energy infrastructure had been hit in an air raid, part of the city was without power. Citizens were asked to save on water.

“During this day, in the Volyn region, rocket attacks were carried out on energy facilities in Lutsk and Kovel. As a result, 102 thousand citizens across the region were without power. Individual regions and communities where the rocket attacks took place are temporarily without electricity and water,” Pogulayko wrote on his Telegram channel.

He noted that the utilities are making repairs while working on a targeted water supply for residents. Repair crews from Volynoblenergo have started work in the affected areas, using generators and other energy sources. Restoration work continues, he said.

“The repairs will continue until the end of the day and tomorrow. In the Lutsk region, work continues until the end of the day and night. The situation is difficult, but manageable,” he said.

Ukrenergo: The extent of damage is greater than on October 10-12

Ukraine’s national energy company (NEC) Ukrenergo said critical infrastructure facilities have been affected. The extent of damage to the energy system is comparable or even greater than in the early days of the October 10-12 attacks.

“Another missile attack was carried out on the energy supplies of the central networks of the western regions of Ukraine. The extent of the damage is comparable to or could be greater than the consequences of the attack of 10-12 October.

Repair crews from NPC “Ukrenergo” will begin restoration work once the rescue workers from the State Emergency Service have extinguished the fires caused by the rocket attacks.

Specialists from Ukrenergo take all measures to restore the electricity supply in the areas without power as quickly as possible.

Today, too, we are forced to impose restrictions on energy supplies in the regions of Kiev, Chernihiv, Cherkassy, ​​Zhitomir, Sumi, Kharkiv, Poltava, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye and Kirovohrad,” said Ukrenergo.
