The thermal generation and electrical substations were struck by today’s missile strikes, according to the Ukrainian ministry of energy, which means that starting tomorrow, it will no longer be able to supply electricity to the European Union.
The interruption will help Ukraine stabilise its own energy system, the ministry said in a statement on its website.
Ukraine started exporting power to the European Union on 1 July. At the time, President Volodymir Zelensky said the launching of power transmissions was the start of a process that could help Europe reduce its dependence on Russian hydrocarbons, Reuters reported then.
