KYIV - Four of DTEK’s six thermal power plants in Ukraine were struck in a new wave of russian attacks on Friday night, injuring an energy worker and seriously damaging equipment on which millions of Ukrainians depend. DTEK is currently assessing the level of damage and how long it will take to recover.
Ukraine’s Air Force reported large-scale attacks across the country late on Friday and into Saturday, with russia firing 34 air, ground and sea-based missiles. The Air Force said it shot down 21 enemy missiles.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, DTEK thermal power plants have been attacked over 170 times. The enemy had already attacked our thermal power plants in massive attacks on March 22, March 29, and April 11 as it seeks to cripple supplies of energy to millions of ordinary Ukrainian homes and businesses.
Last night's attacks underline the continued urgent need for Ukraine's allies to provide stronger air defence systems.
