Blackouts in Ukraine
Since the beginning of the fall, Russia has significantly intensified its attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Due to the critical situation in the power system caused by these attacks, hourly blackouts were introduced in the country.
After a massive strike on the night of November 8, the blackout schedules became even more stringent. Russian troops attacked with drones and Kinzhal and Kalibr missiles.
According to Centrenergo, the attack was the largest since the beginning of the full-scale war. As a result of the attack, Zmiivska and Trypilska TPPs completely stopped producing electricity.
Today, on November 16, due to massive attacks by Russian troops on the energy infrastructure, electricity supply restrictions have been imposed in a number of regions of Ukraine.
