DTEK Thermal Plants Hit in Ninth Major Russian Strike, Causing Casualties.

DTEK's Thermal Power Plants Under Sustained Attack

According to Novyny.live: On February 3, Russian forces launched their ninth major assault on DTEK's thermal power plants since October 2025, damaging equipment and inflicting casualties among the workforce. These targeted strikes are part of a broader, sustained campaign against Ukraine's energy grid. Since the full-scale invasion began, DTEK's thermal plants have been attacked more than 220 times, resulting in injuries to 59 energy workers and the deaths of 4 employees.

Impact on Critical Energy Infrastructure

The ongoing attacks highlight a deliberate strategy by the aggressor to destabilize Ukraine's energy system and undermine regional energy security. In the face of relentless assaults, protecting these critical facilities and supporting the morale of the staff who risk their lives to maintain power supplies is paramount. The persistence of these attacks underscores the urgent need for sustained international support and cooperation to bolster Ukraine's energy resilience.
