Russia’s ruined energy supply system is being restored in Kharkiv / Article

Volodimirs Kudrickis, head of “Ukrenergo” company, informed after his visit to the city that the company has enough machinery, equipment, materials and employees to repair the damaged infrastructure.

The only hindering factor is time, and normal electricity supply in the city could be restored within 7 to 14 days.

Of course, this will only be possible if new, extensive damage does not occur.

Kudrickis also promised that there will be fewer power outages over the weekend due to better weather and reduced consumption.

Russia attacked energy facilities in Kharkiv on March 22, causing tens of millions of euros in damage to the infrastructure.

The subway and electric transport stopped, the traffic lights did not work, and the district heating season had to end earlier than planned.

However, this did not stop the aggressors, and yesterday residential buildings and a medical facility were destroyed by air bombs. Also last night, enemy attack drones were detected and at least two explosions were heard in Kharkiv.

CONTEXT:

Russia’s unjustified and Kiev’s unprovoked large-scale invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022. The Kremlin’s propaganda brazenly promised to capture Kyiv in three days, but the selfless and strong resistance of the Ukrainians prevented the Kremlin from realizing its plans.

After the setbacks, the Kremlin withdrew the army from the Kyiv region, but continued the offensive in other regions. In the fall of 2022, the Ukrainian army managed to liberate Kharkiv region and part of Kherson region in successful operations, raising hopes for the possibility of defeating the enemy.

However, the Ukrainian counter-offensive launched in the summer of 2023 was not so successful, which the Ukrainian army explains both by the insufficient supply of weapons from the Western allies and by the extensive defense line and extensive minefields created by the Russian army. Now there are reports that a war of positions has begun at the front with exhausting battles and preparations must be made for long-term support for Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Russia regularly attacks civilian targets and is expected to target energy infrastructure, as it did last year.
