According to journalists, Ukrainian officials do not hide that the coming heating season can be more difficult than the past. The engineers came out last winter to prevent the collapse of the energy system. Unique electricity distribution schemes across the country have been developed. However, despite all efforts, from October 10 to the end of December 2022, the average Ukrainian house was without electricity for 5 weeks.
The publication writes that the Russian campaign for the destruction of energy infrastructure has caused great damage to Ukraine. Thus, according to the UN Development Program report, the possibilities of generation decreased by 51% compared to the period by February 24, 2022. It is reported that Ukraine has ordered 100 new high -voltage transformers, half of which should be produced by Ukrainian contractors and the second - bought abroad. However, domestic transformers were made very little.
Imported are still stored in Poland and Romania. According to the Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Galushchenko, the country is preparing for new attacks by Russian invaders on the energy system. Now it is more vulnerable than last year. The minister said that Ukraine now has extensive experience on how to cope with large -scale attacks, but the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is likely to also draw conclusions from the campaign last year.
