  • russia intensifies attacks on DTEK energy facilities

In October and November 2025, russia carried out four large-scale attacks on DTEK thermal power plants (TPPs), resulting in significant damage to equipment and injuries to three energy workers. One of the most recent attacks, which took place on 30th October, was among the most massive and prolonged since the beginning of the invasion, inflicting substantial damage on critical infrastructure.

During the same period, russian forces conducted more than ten large-scale strikes on DTEK coal enterprises in the Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions. On 6th November, attacks on the region’s energy infrastructure left eight DTEK Energy mines without power, trapping 2,595 miners underground. Emergency evacuation procedures were immediately activated at all affected sites to bring miners safely to the surface.

  • DTEK imports first US LNG into Ukraine and Europe via Lithuania

DTEK, through its trading arm D.TRADING, has delivered its first cargo of US-sourced liquefied natural gas (LNG) via Lithuania. Once re-gasified, volumes will flow to Ukraine, Baltic countries, Poland and other Eastern European markets.

DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko wrote on LinkedIn:

"In the coming months, Ukraine will need many more shipments and DTEK is already in negotiations with US producers to bring further LNG cargoes into Europe via the Baltic and Mediterranean. The United States is now an irreplaceable energy partner for both Ukraine and Europe. As we work to cover our immediate needs this winter, and also to accelerate the rebuilding of our energy system in the longer term, this alliance will only grow stronger. "
