Russian energy workers helping destroy Ukrainian infrastructure - Ukrenergo
Terrorist attacks on Ukraine's energy system are coordinated by Russian energy workers, because they know it well from the inside.
Ukraine's state energy company Ukrenergo said this in a post on its Telegram channel, Ukrinform reports.
"Attacks were planned and carried out not only by the Russian military, but also by Russian energy companies," said Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, the chairman of the company.
According to the report, Russian engineers knew Ukraine's power grid "like the back of their hand" because before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began last February, it was integrated with the power systems of Russia and Belarus.
The company said that Ukrainian power engineers now better understand the Russian strategy and are taking measures to minimize the consequences of attacks.
Ukraine's energy system was subjected to 11 missile and 14 drone attacks by the enemy. Damage to generation facilities and trunk networks is complex and large-scale. Their restoration still requires significant resources and time.
Massive attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure have been ongoing since October 10.
