Since October 10th more missiles and drones were used to attack critical infrastructure. In an interview with CNN, DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko talked about how much damage missile attacks have caused to the energy infrastructure of Ukraine and DTEK in paticular. He called on international partners to provide DTEK with electrical equipment to restore power supply.
«Today we operate six power stations producing even today more than 20% of electricity. Five of these stations were attacked. We did everything possible to bring them back and four of them are already back to the grid. But it is not only about us, its about the whole energy system of Ukraine. The whole system was attacked.
Today we cannot transmit about 25% of electricity needed to consumers. That’s why we go to rolling blackouts in all regions of Ukraine. The situation is very critical today. What we need is equipment to replace damaged equipment. We try to find it everywhere in Ukraine and we are appealing to our partners for assistance. Give us equipment and we will keep fighting - bringing back electricity, restoring power stations», - said Maxim Timchenko.
Ukraine is at a critical point today and is asking for help from the world.
