Russia attacks the critical infrastructure of Ukraine: what is the amount of losses

The total direct damage from shelling since the beginning of October, according to the Ministry of Energy, is already billions of dollars. Massed shelling of Ukraine, which were carried out by Russian troops on November 15 and 17, 2022, caused energy infrastructure (TPP, TPP, LP, substation) losses of more than $ 1 billion. Finance, Tax and Customs Policy Danilo Hetmantsev.

According to him, experts are now engaged in calculating losses, but, as the deputy noted, the amount of losses is clearly no less than previous shelling. "Losses, for example, for thermal generation can reach from $ 5 to $ 25 million per objects (UAH 0. 2 -1 billion), depending on the degree of damage. Therefore, only direct total losses for energy infrastructure (TPPs, TPP, transmission lines, substations, etc. ) from one day of shelling can reach $ 0.

5 - $ 1 billion, " - said in the message of Hetmantsev. He also added that the total direct harm from shelling since the beginning of October, according to the Ministry of Energy, has already been billions of dollars. It should be reminded that on November 15, Russian troops carried out a massive shelling of Ukraine, during which dozens of winged missiles were released in the direction of Ukrainian cities.

The rocket strike was also carried out in Kiev, causing the fragments of the shells to fall into apartment buildings and provoked fires. After a while, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carried out a new shelling of Kiev, during which at least one person was killed. The massive shelling of Ukraine has led to a critical situation in the Ukrainian power system. Ukrenergo has introduced emergency shutdowns of electricity throughout the country to prevent accidents at critical infrastructure.
