Ukraine,Energy Infrastructure,Attacks

Moscow has carried out a series of unprecedented attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, causing widespread damage to several facilities. Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal confirms that the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and other thermal power plants were targeted in these attacks.

A view shows the remains of what the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant officials call a Ukrainian drone that was shot down over the station, outside Enerhodar in the Zaporizhzhia region, in this still image from video taken April 7, 2024.The country is now racing to repair some of the widespread damage to several facilities after Moscow carried out a series of unprecedented attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in recent weeks.

In the wake of successful Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refineries in Russia earlier this year, the Kremlin launched its most vicious campaign yet on Ukraine's critical infrastructure. "The enemy's relentless assaults occur nearly every day," said Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, from Ukraine's state energy company Ukrenergo.

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba speaks with media during a meeting with U.S. secretary of state at the NATO Alliance's headquarters in Brussels, on April 4, 2024.In the spate of recent attacks, Russia has damaged about a dozen Ukrainian thermal power plants and at least four hydropower plants, according to officials.

Complex electrical infrastructure that's uncrewed can be even more dangerous if it is hit by a missile, explained Volodymyr, a DTEK worker. All DTEK workers who spoke with ABC News did not want to provide surnames for security reasons. Ukraine faces an inevitable dichotomy: As soon as a power plant is repaired, there is the risk Russia will target it again.
