Russia has intensified its attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in recent months, leading to lengthy and almost daily interruptions in electricity supply across the country. Some regions are down to just a few hours of power a day after continuous Russian rocket and drone strikes have crippled the energy grid. On Friday, Russia targeted over 120 Ukrainian infrastructure facilities. DTEK, a major energy company, has reported that 90% of its energy-generating capacity has been lost due to Russian strikes, with thermal power plants hit over 180 times, causing losses worth at least $350 million. Currently, only 27% of all large thermal power plants in Ukraine are operational, with the rest destroyed or severely damaged. The country could face a humanitarian catastrophe as the heating season approaches. A video report from Odesa highlights the severity of the situation.
