Russia seeks to cause a complete power outage in Ukraine<\/h2>\n

Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Kirill Budanov<\/strong> said that Russia aims to completely de-energise Ukraine<\/strong> through massive missile and drone strikes on energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n

He spoke about this in an interview with the Italian newspaper Il Foglio<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00abThe Russians want to cause a complete blackout in Ukraine. This is their strategic goal this winter,\u00bb Budanov said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Ukrainians have become more prepared for blackouts<\/h2>\n

Despite the threat of new attacks, the intelligence chief noted that Ukraine is better prepared this time<\/strong> to possible power outages.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00abThe middle class already has equipment that helps during power outages - generators, power stations, batteries. This makes us more resilient,\u00bb he explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Budanov also emphasised that energy infrastructure reinforced and partially dispersed<\/strong>, This makes it difficult for the enemy to completely cut off the country's power supply.<\/p>\n

\n

Context.<\/h2>\n

Russia regularly carries out missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities<\/strong>, in an attempt to disrupt the heating season.
The Ministry of Energy has repeatedly stated that the power system is capable of hold the load even in the event of serious damage<\/strong>, thanks to the work of repair teams and the help of partners.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
