The American edition of The Washington Post devoted an article to the large-scale attack by racists on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure and, in particular, on the DTEK thermal plants. Journalists of the publication recognized the damage as large, its elimination, even with sufficient supplies of equipment, could take many months.
“Rusty and molten metal, as well as piles of ash, remain from the control room at the power plant, which was attacked by Russia last month, destroying the equipment and causing a massive fire. Therefore, the thermal power plant has suspended its work indefinitely,” The Washington Post wrote about one of DTEK’s plants.
The publication emphasized that it would be almost impossible for Ukraine to repel such attacks because it lacks air defense. At the same time, problems in protecting the skies create additional problems in restoring major energy facilities.
Journalists emphasized that after the shelling last winter, DTEK electrical engineers continued the operation of the damaged power units, but as a result of the latest attacks, most of them were destroyed again.

We remind you that on March 22, the Russians carried out the largest attack on the energy sector of Ukraine. After that, DTEK announced the destruction of two-thirds of the power units it had continued to hold last winter.
And on March 29, the enemy attacked energy facilities in six regions, then introduced emergency shutdowns in some regions.
In early April, DTEK reported that it was forced to increase electricity imports from Europe to reduce the deficit that arose due to the loss of generating capacity.
