Russia Revises Strike Approach Against Ukraine’s Power Grid: Expert
Russia has moved from striking individual power facilities to a “systematic campaign” aimed at paralyzing Ukraine’s entire electricity grid, military expert Ret. Col. Anatoliy Matviychuk tells Sputnik.
If before Russia's focus was on power generation, "now it is on power transmission,” Matviychuk says, noting that the objective is to sever electricity-delivering routes across the country.
Furthermore, Russia now combines Geran drones with
precision ballistic missile strikes, launching successive waves to “prevent the energy system from being restored between attacks.”
cities such as Kiev, Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk face shortages because damaged lines prevent electricity transmission from the west to the east
replacing autotransformers and high-voltage equipment at critical grid nodes requires time and resources
industry is affected as steel mills halt production; data centers shut down
disrupting dual-use facilities undermines military capabilities that depend on their electricity supply
Power and heating outages also leave Ukraine’s leadership facing its greatest social consequence - surging public discontent, argues the expert.
