Russia targeted DTEK's thermal power plants during a mass aerial attack on Dec. 13, damaging their equipment, the company said in a statement.
Moscow's forces launched around 90 missiles and 200 drones in one of its largest mass attacks on Ukraine's power grid as the winter is setting in.
"DTEK thermal power plants were attacked. According to preliminary data, there were no casualties," the company said. The plants' equipment was "seriously damaged," with energy sector employees already working on repairs.
The company does not usually reveal the location of the targeted plants or the full extent of damage due to security reasons.
Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast suffered its "most massive attack during the full-scale war," Governor Svitlana Onyshchuk announced. Cruise missiles and drones struck critical infrastructure facilities in the region, but no casualties were reported at the moment.
Energy facilities were targeted in Lviv Oblast, according to regional authorities. Neighboring Ternopil Oblast was also impacted, the regional military administration said without revealing details.
"There are no casualties. Critical infrastructure facilities are operating normally," the Ternopil Oblast authorities said on Telegram. Earlier in the morning, officials said that half of the region's residents were without power due to emergency shutdowns.
This is the 12th mass attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure this year and the ninth that targeted DTEK's facilities. Russia previously launched a large-scale strike on critical infrastructure on Nov. 28, following a prolonged bombing campaign over the summer and the spring.
Gotta hand it to genocidal Russian Nazis. History shows us that where Russia goes misery follows. Mass murder, depopulation, industrial scale destruction, etc., etc. Nothing new under the filth and scum of the Moscow Kremlin sun.
How is that different from what the genocidal WEF/UN/CFR/CIA has planned for us?
Russia, Russia, Russia MSNBC?
It is interesting that they refer to the power plant as ‘thermal.’ It took approximately 30 seconds to find out that the ‘thermal’ power generation in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast is a coal-fired power plant. That the Russians badly damaged a coal-fired plant would usually earn them major points with the envirowackos.
Isn't that ultimate example of projection.
That describes what our/globalist meddling or nation building attempts have done in Ukraine, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Afghanistan.
We're trying to foment color revolutions and undermining democracy/representative republics in Georgia and Serbia at the present time.
The agenda of the globalist elite (the green agenda, mass migration, failed sanction and proxy wars), not Russia, is the biggest threat to this country and Europe.
“This is the 12th mass attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure this year...”
12 attacks and they still have power? These attacks appear rather ineffective.
The Kiev Paper is a Ukie Paper.
If they say it’s bad, it’s bad.
At least the EU is helping.
ukraine stronk. Slobba ukrainsky. ho-ho-hoholistan.
look out Putin is under your bedd.
are we the baddies?
The diverting will stop when their own EU citizens start to freeze.
Perhaps Ukraine should limit large power plant output to civilian use. In that way international law would prohibit Russian attacks on the power plants.
Weapon production machinery might be run on generators.
When this mess is over with one way or the other, I cannot even imagine what the reconstruction cost will be. The cost will be staggering!
Z-Man can apply for rebuilding loan at the World Bank.
One trillion dollars.
How is that different than what the UN has tried to impose on the Israelis through UNRWA and their decades-long support of the Palestinian terrorists? Mass murder, depopulation, industrial scale destruction - all have been conducted with the encouragement of the UNRWA.
