In general, according to the General Staff, the Russians released 90 missiles in Ukraine of different types and 60 drones. As reported by Ukrenergo, dozens of power systems have been damaged: thermal and hydroelectric power plants, the main networks of the NEC "Ukrenergo", the power of Oblenergo. The most difficult situation in Kharkiv, Odessa, Kirovograd, Dnipropetrovsk regions.
Emergency shutdowns as of March 22 were in Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kirovograd, Odessa, Poltava, Sumy and Kharkiv regions. And to support the safe operation of the grid, emergency assistance from Romania, Slovakia, Poland is involved. Despite the fact that the Russians released 90 rockets and 60 drones on energy, the Blackut in the country did not happen.
"After the morning shelling of Ukraine, the blackberry did not happen, although Russia has made the largest compounded attack on the Ukrainian power system since the beginning of a full -scale invasion of the Ukrainian power system," said Vladimir Kudrytsky, head of Ukrenergo. The director of the Razumkov Center's energy programs, Volodymyr Omelchenko, in a conversation with Focus, noted that Russia did not achieve Blacka, because the energy united energy system works in a coherent mode.
"This is the main thing. There are local issues. The problem with disconnections is especially true of Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv. According to him, the attack of energy objects preceded several events that could influence the Kremlin's decision to attack stations and networks. "They did not stop firing Ukrainian energy infrastructure, just attacks were not as massive as it was today. Why was it happening now? Well, probably because Russia feels inability to defeat Ukraine on the front line.
It was applied by a breakthrough in the RDC, Chechen units in the territory of Belgorod region.
Russia has not achieved Blackut, because the energy united energy system works in a coherent mode, he also said that another incentive for Russia was an article on Financial Times, where the United States urged Ukraine to stop attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure, warning that drones in Russian oil refineries (refineries) can lead to an increase in global oil prices and provoke appropriate measures.
"I think one of the reasons for this blow is also that yesterday the Financial Times was published, where Ukraine was called on to stop striking Russian refineries, because it seems to affect the increase in oil price. Although this is not the case. Not that. why prices rise. And therefore, Russia may have felt that America would restrain the blows in response to Russian infrastructure.
That is, one of the reasons for the current attack could be that Ukraine will not be able to strike because it can be determined by ours so called partners. This is my hypothesis, "says Vladimir Omelchenko. Today, as a result of the attack of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Zaporozhye on Dniproges, there were two direct hit-in HPP-1 and HPP-2. In particular, the HEP-2 was seriously injured, and it is unknown whether it will be possible to restore it.
According to the director of Ukrhydroenergo Igor Orphans, the machine hall and electrical equipment will have to be completely restored. "If we talk about the blows of the Dniproges, it is in my opinion, in my opinion, the situation is not acceptable, the strikes on the dam of hydroelectric power plants are a crime against humanity. In the event of a dam, an environmental disaster will occur, dozens or even hundreds of thousands of people can be injured.
It is a pity that when Russia had ruined the Kakhovsky dam last year, the reaction of the international community was inadequate and very weak, and it opened green light in order to feel impunity and continue such strikes on the largest hydroelectro -power plant of Ukraine, " - said Vladimir Omelchenko. He also believes that there is no reason to panic right now, because there are some damage to Dniproges, but the dam itself is whole and nothing threatens.
However, in the future, repeated strokes in the hydroelectric power plant in Zaporozhye are not excluded. "There are no major problems today. These are temporary problems. That is, they will not exist in my opinion, in the coming weeks or months. But strategic terms are possible. So far, no panic, there are no threats to the population," Vladimir says Omelchenko. According to Volodymyr Omelchenko, the power system of Ukraine is preserved, and there are no reasons to expect large -scale blackouts.
Energy crews are already working and all problematic issues will be resolved for one or two days. Regarding the protection of energy infrastructure from rockets and drones, the expert stressed that a lot of work was carried out, but all objects were protected from missiles, and even more so from ballistics.
The only way to reassure the Kremlin is to strike the appropriate blow on Russian energy infrastructure, says the expert "was done a lot, but it is impossible to do everything, it is impossible to protect from ballistics all objects. Even no country is able to do it, including Ukraine In my opinion, the only option of conservation of Ukrainian energy infrastructure is not only the strengthening of our facilities with physical protection and air defense, but necessarily the application .
