"Not for the better": in Ukraine stated that the Russian Federation changed the tactics of cities shelling

Russia has resumed its offensive in recent weeks, struck by a high -intensity that has not been seen in more than two years of war. "Their tactics have changed - unfortunately, not for us," said Svetlana Grinchuk, Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine, in an interview with CNN. She drew attention to the fact that the attacks of Russian invaders were more disparate, rockets aimed at large sections of the energy system of the state.

At present, attacks are becoming more concentrated and accurate, dozens of missiles and drones are used for one goal. "In such a short period of time - in a few weeks of these massive Russian attacks - almost all our annual efforts to rebuild and repair were destroyed in a few days, in a few attacks," Grinchuk explained. Oleksandr Kharchenko, Director of the Kyiv Center for Energy Research (CEI), noted that at the end of March there was a turning point.

It was on that day that Russian invaders made one of the largest unmanned and missile attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, which was directed to at least 10 regions of the country and left more than one million households for a short time without stable electricity supply. "A large number of missiles and drones are at the same time focusing on a very limited number of goals," Kharchenko said.

Since then, Russian invaders have struck Ukrainian power plants throughout the country, and on Thursday completely destroyed the Trypillian TPP - the largest power plant in the Kiev region. DTEK also stated that the Russian Federation has caused "serious damage" to its two power plants, and that approximately 80% of the energy generating capacities that it controls were destroyed as a result of Russian blows.

Ukraine saves energy in storage facilities, so strokes on thermal power plants did not cause long and immediate shutdowns. Thermal power plants are mostly used to balance common needs - especially during intensive heating periods in winter, when consumption increases sharply. We will remind, on April 8 the edition of Financial Times reported that Russia affects Ukraine's power plants with high accuracy.
