Sakharuk added that the company’s largest thermal power plants suffered the most significant damage during the entire full-scale invasion.

In the latest attack on Ukraine’s energy system, the occupiers destroyed two-thirds of Rinat Akhmetov’s DTEK power units, which the company had repaired after large-scale attacks last winter. DTEK Executive Director Dmitry Sakharuk stated this during the NV event “Dialogues about the future. The European path of Ukraine.”

“The worst situation is that two-thirds of the restored blocks that we repaired since last winter were destroyed. We restored 10 blocks and two-thirds were destroyed. If we used to talk about damage, now we are talking about the word destruction,” he said.

Sakharuk added that the company’s largest thermal power plants suffered the most significant damage during the entire full-scale invasion.

“Unlike last winter, the accuracy of the missiles is amazing. The takeoff run is a meter. If before it was 100 meters, 200, 300, now it just arrives meter by meter and, unfortunately, the consequences are simply colossal,” explained the executive director of DTEK.

Sakharuk emphasized that as a result of the attack, the most important equipment that had been manufactured for years was damaged. In total, the company lost about 1 GW of capacity.

Previously, Sakharuk said that the significant scale of destruction is preventing the rapid restoration of the energy system after the latest shelling and it will take a long time to repair some damaged energy facilities.
