Associated Press: “We have learned lessons” in dealing with russian aggression says DTEK CEO

Maxim Timchenko, DTEK CEO, has told Associate Press that the company is ready for more russian strikes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure this winter.

“We learned our lessons,” Timchenko told AP during an interview at DTEK’s headquarters in Kyiv.

In October 2022, russia began massive missile attacks on Ukraine’s energy system, including 35 direct attacks on DTEK Energy power plants.
