Ukraine is facing a critical shortage of air defense missiles, as revealed by an adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. This shortage has left the country's power plants vulnerable to a new Kremlin tactic that involves attacking these facilities with 10-12 missiles at a time, effectively bypassing Patriot air defense systems, which are not available in abundance. Notably, the Dobrotvirskaya Thermal Power Plant, the last large thermal power plant in Western Ukraine with an installed capacity of 600 MW, was hit by at least two missiles two days ago, causing uncertain damage. Additionally, the Tripolska power plant has suffered catastrophic destruction, further highlighting the systematic de-energization of Ukraine.
