"Accumulate all summer": the Russian Federation can prepare massive blows in the fall for blackout in Ukraine
According to Kharchenko, the Russian Federation destroyed 45% of high -voltage networks, up to 60% of the objects of thermal generation of Ukraine. To resume the necessary billions of dollars. Therefore, as long as the war is in Ukraine, the threat of blackout is maintained. According to the director of the Energy Research Center, invaders can accumulate missiles for shelling throughout the summer, then try to make massive shelling again.
"My hypothesis is this: the Russians will accumulate rockets all summer, and then try to repeat the same attacks as last year. That is, it will be the next heating season, that is, October and November," Kharchenko says. He added that Ukraine will be better prepared, but the power system will still not be able to completely restore until the next heating season. The production of the necessary details takes months, so according to Kharchenko, Ukraine can get 20-40% of equipment from a common need.
