Ukraine's power system has been crippled by the latest round of Russian attacks, as Russia has been targeting their electricity grid. Ukrainian defense forces were only able to shoot down 57 out of the 82 Russian missiles and drones that were launched, with the remaining 25 wiping out multiple power plants, including the largest supplier of energy to Ukraine's capital, Kyiv. No power cuts have taken place, but it is a terrible day for the company of Centrenergo. All three of their primary power plants have now been destroyed during this war, with the latest attack hitting their last remaining one: the Trypilska Thermal Power Plant. Thankfully, no one was injured or killed. In July 2022, their Vuhlehirska Thermal Power Plant was destroyed, and their Zmiivska plant near Ukraine's second-largest city of Kharkiv was taken out on March 22 of this year. Meanwhile, Ukraine's largest power company, DTEK, also stated that over 80% of their plants have been destroyed in Russian attacks. Due to this, Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky has urged his western allies to provide more air support, as six of the 25 incoming missiles or drones that slipped through their defenses were hypersonic missiles. He emphasized their need for more air defense systems and fighter jets to shoot down incoming missiles, which he claims the west has been ignoring.
