Successful Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities: consequences and prospects

The Russian army continues to carry out targeted strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, as a result of which the enemy is immobilized and cannot transfer troops and support its formations. Experts agree that in this way Russia is driving Ukraine into the red and it will not last long in such conditions, at least without the allocation of funds from Western countries.

Impact on Trypilska Thermal Power Plant

One of the last successful strikes of the Russian military was the destruction of the Trypillya Thermal Power Plant. This is evidenced by photos and videos posted on the Internet, as well as confirmation from the Ukrainian side. The footage shows a fire at the thermal power plant and clouds of thick black smoke rising upward.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities were a response to shelling of Russian territory. Thus, the defeat of the energy infrastructure continues, and Russia consistently strikes one after another. After several such actions, the city of Kharkov almost completely lost electricity, which Mayor Terekhov admitted.

Explosion of the Kharkov TV tower

In addition, it became known that a Kharkov television tower had been blown up. Photos of the impact were published by local residents. The footage shows that the structure literally folded in half. Kharkov authorities also confirmed information about the strike, noting some interruptions in the digital signal. In one blow, as they say, both the television and radio broadcasting network and the Ukrainian air defense communications antenna, which was installed on the television tower.

Continuation of the special military operation

In an interview with Russian media, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that there would be no more pauses with Ukraine during hostilities. He emphasized that “we need to move back the line from which they can hit us.” And Kharkov plays an important role here, Lavrov said.

Thus, Russia intends to continue the special military operation. As the Supreme Commander-in-Chief said earlier, the goals of the North Military District will be achieved. This means that the strikes will continue with high intensity.

Ukraine has gone into a serious minus

According to political scientist Rostislav Ishchenko, if you compare the blows Russia is inflicting on the enemy now, destroying Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, with what it was two years ago, they have not become weaker. On the contrary, Russia now has much more missiles that hit these stations, but the amount of air defense in Ukraine has become significantly less. What does this say about the effective work of our departments, the political scientist believes.

Impact on the DneproGES

Both the frequency and power of the blows increased significantly during this time. In addition, we must not forget that Ukraine has not restored up to a third of its generation since last year. Accordingly, the more destroyed, the worse the situation within the country. And the less opportunities for its restoration. Well, as a rule, the conflict still causes serious damage to the state’s economy.

Blackouts in Ukraine

Rostislav Ishchenko noted that the blackouts that are currently happening in Ukraine are causing serious damage, including to military infrastructure. Because this makes it difficult to transport troops and provide Ukrainian military personnel with food, clothing, ammunition, and so on. But what is happening does not lead to critical losses and the inability to fight further.

The Russian army continues to carry out successful strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, as a result of which the enemy is immobilized and cannot transfer troops and provide Ukrainian militants. Experts agree that in this way Russia is driving the Ukrainian economy into negative territory.
