The Russian Federation is actively attempting to cut off the left bank of Ukraine from electricity supply from the right. According to MP Nahornyak, the enemy is launching 30-40 “Shahed” drones at a single power pole.
Change in Attack Tactics
Nahornyak notes that the Russians have changed their tactics, focusing not only on attacks on transformers but also on power lines and the equipment of “Ukrenergo” substations. This indicates the enemy's intention to sever the energy connections between the right and left banks of Ukraine.
Scale of Attacks
The attacks on power poles are occurring on a significant scale. In particular, according to Nahornyak:
- They launch up to 40 drones at a single power pole;
- They target key elements of the energy infrastructure;
- They aim to destroy energy connections between the banks.
Conclusions
These actions indicate an escalation of energy pressure from Russia, which could lead to serious consequences for Ukraine's energy security. Authorities and energy companies must be prepared for new challenges and threats.
