"Russia's change in tactics toward energy is the same as on the battlefield. At first, their goal was to take Kyiv in three days; then it shifted to a scorched-earth strategy. Now they are applying the same approach to energy. Every Ukrenergo and regional energy substation is under massive attack, a huge number of drones are flying in, trying to wipe our facilities off the face of the earth."
"At the start of the war in 2022 Russia tried to destroy all of Ukraine's power system using large-scale missile strikes. Zaichenko said that the situation has now changed and the attacks are being more targeted since September. These attacks were so severe and complex that even now, in some regions - Sumy and Chernihiv - electricity consumption schedules have been introduced. But we are doing everything possible to restore power."
Russian forces have shifted tactics to focus on destroying Ukraine's energy sector through targeted strikes and a scorched-earth approach. Attacks now include large numbers of drones aiming to obliterate Ukrenergo and regional substations. Initial 2022 large-scale missile strikes aimed to collapse the entire power system, but since September attacks have become more precise and sustained. Some regions, including Sumy and Chernihiv, continue to face severe damage that forced electricity consumption schedules. Efforts continue to restore power despite complex, severe disruptions to the grid and ongoing assaults on energy facilities.
