Since October 2022, Russia has launched more than 1,000 strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities, as a result of which our country has lost part of its generation.
This was stated by Deputy Minister of Energy Nikolay during the telethon Kolesnik.
— Since October 2022, the enemy has carried out more than a thousand strikes on civilian energy infrastructure facilities. Naturally, this has an impact on the stability of the energy system. Despite this, the largest repair campaign is currently ongoing. In fact, we are focused on resuming the operation of those energy facilities where repairs can be carried out, — he noted.
Russia preparing strikes on nuclear power facilities
In addition, the deputy head of the Ministry of Energy commented on the statement by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sybiga that Russia is planning strikes on critical nuclear power facilities in Ukraine on the eve of winter. He noted that the relevant intelligence information had already been passed on to partners and the IAEA.

– The enemy’s latest attack on August 26 showed that the enemy is deliberately striking at facilities, at substations, on which the operation of nuclear power plants depends, – added Kolesnik.
Recall that in his statement, Sibiga, in particular, had in mind the preparation of strikes by the Russian Federation on open switchgear of nuclear power plants and transmission substations, which are critical for the operation of nuclear power plants.
