Ukraine’s Energy Grid Crippled: Russia Launches “Largest-Ever” Power Plant Attack
Following “the largest Russian attack,” all thermal power plants operated by Ukraine’s state-owned energy company Centrenergo were taken offline. The attack targeted plants previously damaged and restored, with multiple drones targeting them. Despite Ukrainian forces downing a significant number of drones and missiles, the strikes destroyed all restored capacity, leaving the plants generating no power. This marks a renewed offensive by Russia to cripple Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and potentially disrupt the upcoming winter season.
