Ukraine fights to keep the lights on as Russia hammers power plants
Russia is targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of the brutally cold winter
Patches of snow. Inside a thermal power station.
With another Ukrainian winter arriving, the vast turbine hall is full of activity. Engineers, dwarfed by the enormous scale of the place, repairing what they can, removing what they can’t, after a recent Russian air strike hit this facility.
For security reasons, we’re not allowed to say where we are or when the visit occurred. Nor can we describe the extent of the damage, or whether the plant is still working.
Russia, we’re told, collects every scrap of information in order to draw up its next target list.
On Thursday, Moscow mounted its second mass attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in less than two weeks.
Ten such attacks this year have placed an enormous burden on the entire energy system.
Before the first of this month’s attacks, on 17 November, Ukraine had already lost 9GW of generation capacity. That’s about half of the power consumed during last winter’s peak heating season.

The Bible tells us there must be a seven-year period when God again turns His attention to the Jewish people and Jerusalem. The length of this still future time comes the prophet Daniel who specified seventy weeks of years during which time the Lord will complete His redemptive purposes for choosing Israel (Daniel 9:24-27).
Israel’s security cabinet approved a U.S. proposal Tuesday for a ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon, following a speech in which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the achievements of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
President Joe Biden said Wednesday that the administration’s success in negotiating a ceasefire in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah would inspire the White House to press for a ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas in Gaza.
Biden and aides highlight beefed-up enforcement mechanism, led by US and capable of responding immediately to violations, unlike after 2006 war; also talk of Saudi normalization.
On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” Israeli Government Spokesman David Mencer stated that one reason for the ceasefire deal it struck was to replenish its weapons supplies and “there have been big delays in weapons and munitions deliveries” from the U.S., but Israel also wanted to focus on Iran and isolate Hamas.
On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) stated that Hezbollah can re-arm after the ceasefire deal that was reached that day, but it will take a while if they try to do so because Israel did extensive damage to Hezbollah’s arsenal and Iran’s ability to arm them has been weakened.
Earlier, the Lebanese Armed Forces said that it is preparing to deploy its forces to southern Lebanon, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
With the ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel only several hours old, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to take strong action if its soldiers are in danger.
In addition to heavy submarines, the Iranian Navy is also developing special logistics drones that can carry equipment and even people.
The nascent Sanhedrin in Jerusalem has made an official ruling, calling on Jews outside of Israel to come home.
The Kremlin leader warned that Moscow felt "entitled" to hit military facilities in countries that allow Ukraine to use their weapons against Russia.
