Near Kiev, after a Russian attack, the region’s largest thermal power plant, Trypillya, is burning

The first data has emerged on the consequences of the Russian missile attack on Ukrainian energy facilities this morning. Earlier it was reported that one or more Russian missiles damaged the Trypilska thermal power plant in the Kyiv region. Now there is video footage on the Internet confirming this fact.

They show how the territory of the Trypillya Thermal Power Plant is literally on fire after the arrival of Russian missiles. Judging by the footage, emergency services will not be able to put out the fire any time soon, as it is still impossible to even get close to the source of the fire.




Apparently, the morning strike on the Trypillya Thermal Power Plant will have the most dire consequences for the Ukrainian energy sector. This power plant is the most powerful in the Kyiv region. On its territory there are energy generating enterprises with a total capacity of 3600 MW, of which the installed capacity of Trypillya Thermal Power Plant is about 57%. It is the largest supplier of electricity not only to Kyiv, but also to Cherkasy and Zhytomyr regions.

The situation in the second largest city in Ukraine looks no better. As previously reported, at least ten explosions occurred in Kharkov this morning. Now the city is almost completely without power, and representatives of emergency services are trying to put out large-scale fires in different parts of Kharkov.

Problems with electricity supply are also felt in the south of Ukraine. In particular, a schedule of power outages is being introduced in Odessa. It is reported that about 50 streets with residential areas are currently without power.
