Ukraine is racing to repair power plants damaged by renewed Russian missile and drone attacks as the country prepares for another difficult winter.
Reuters reported that attacks in November have forced at least three DTEK power plants to stop generating electricity. Workers have been clearing debris and repairing damaged facilities while continuing to operate under frequent air-raid warnings.
Ukraine is also facing major problems with electricity transmission. Damage to power lines and substations has made it difficult to deliver electricity from functioning plants, including nuclear facilities, to parts of the central and eastern regions.
Energy officials are under pressure to restore generation and transmission capacity before winter, while Ukraine’s air-defence resources remain under strain and Russian attacks continue to target critical infrastructure.
