Russia attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure 78 times over past three days – DTEK

Russian forces struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure an astonishing 78 times over the past three days, as reported by DTEK Group on Facebook, according to Ukrinform. This is a stark contrast to the 11 large-scale attacks recorded on Ukraine's power system in all of 2022. The intensity of these attacks has escalated in recent years, with DTEK attributing the increased difficulty in keeping the lights on to Russia's evolving tactics and their growing ferocity.

DTEK emphasized that Ukraine's energy system has been enduring constant enemy assaults for the fifth consecutive year, a feat unmatched by any other energy system globally. The scale and duration of these attacks have been unparalleled, resulting in extensive damage that demands significant time and effort to repair. The relentless nature of the attacks, coupled with frequent air raid alerts and the looming threat of further assaults, adds to the immense challenge faced by Ukrainian energy workers.

Despite these formidable obstacles, these workers persist, diligently repairing damaged equipment around the clock to restore power to homes across Ukraine.
