The extent of the damage sustained by Ukraine’s power grid – 10 gigawatts - was revealed by Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmyhal in his speech at the ‘Ukraine. Year 2025’ forum this week.
Zelensky earlier claimed that Ukraine had lost 9 gigawatts’ worth of power generation capacity, including 80% of thermal power plant output and a third of the hydroelectric plant output.
Ukraine’s Energy Minister German Galushchenko also lamented last year that HALF of Ukraine’s total power generation capacity was taken out of action.
Following a series of terrorist attacks carried out by Ukrainian forces against civilian targets in Russia, the Russian military started launching precision strikes against power plants in Ukraine.
