"Russia launches attacks Ukraine's energy infrastructure almost every day. On Tuesday night, Russian bombs struck the city of Kharkiv, resulting in power cuts across three districts. Attacks on October 10, meanwhile, simultaneously damaged electricity and gas infrastructure in several different Ukrainian regions. Russia has launched massive attacks on Ukraine's electricity grid in recent years, but has yet to succeed in causing major power outages. Experts say that this fall, as the weather grows colder, Russia is targeting the Ukraine's gas supply and pipeline network."
"The upcoming winter could become one of the hardest for Ukraine since Russia first launched its full-scale invasion in 2022. Central heating systems have already been switched on in Ukraine's Rivne, Lviv and Khmelnytskyi regions, as well as in the capital, Kyiv. It should be said that so far, however, only communal facilities are being supplied with heat. In Kherson, most households with their own boilers fired them up on October 1, while in the Kharkiv region, heaters won't be switched until early November."
"Attacks on Ukrainian gas facilities affect civilians Russian's latest large-scale attacks paralyzed more than half of Ukraine's gas production facilities, according to reports from US news outlet Bloomberg. Russian strikes on the Kharkiv and Poltava regions during the night of October 3, including 35 missiles and 60 drones, were among some of the most devastating ever, said Sergii Koretskyi, CEO of Ukraine's state-owned oil and gas company Naftogaz."
Near-daily Russian strikes damage Ukraine's electricity and gas infrastructure, causing power cuts in Kharkiv and simultaneous damage across multiple regions. Massive attacks on the electricity grid have so far failed to trigger nationwide blackouts, but autumn strikes increasingly target gas supply and pipelines. The upcoming winter could be among the hardest since the 2022 full-scale invasion. Central heating has been switched on in Rivne, Lviv, Khmelnytskyi and Kyiv, currently supplying only communal facilities. Many Kherson households activated private boilers on October 1, while Kharkiv heaters are planned for early November. District heating will be absent in some Kharkiv-area cities, including Kupyansk, due to targeted strikes. Recent large-scale attacks paralyzed more than half of Ukraine's gas production facilities and involved dozens of missiles and drones.
