Energy experts showed for the first time what the equipment of the thermal power plant looks like after the Russian strikes.

The installation was opened in Kyiv on Kontraktova Square, it is called “Battle for Light”, are reported in DTEK

In the center of the capital, workers of the energy complex installed a destroyed power transformer, which was damaged as a result of shelling by the Russian Federation. It withstood several hits from the fragments, but in the end was completely destroyed.

“The transformer has its own history – after the shelling, it burned for a day because it was impossible to put it out. And, unfortunately, due to extensive damage, it cannot be restored.

We put it in Kyiv so that everyone could see it with their own eyes, as energy workers see at the TPP and other energy facilities. However, despite all the difficulties and daily risks of coming under enemy fire, Ukrainian energy workers continue their battle for light“, – noted the executive director of DTEK, Dmytro Saharuk.

DTEK notes that this is how many objects of the Ukrainian energy infrastructure, which have suffered more than 1,000 Russian attacks since October 2022, look like this.

The enemy destroyed almost 90% of all thermal and 45% of hydrogen generation.

“The energy infrastructure of every region, without exception, has been affected by shelling. In the intervals between massive missile strikes, the enemy attacks energy facilities with drones almost every day throughout the country, especially in the frontline regions.”– noted First Deputy Minister of Energy Yuriy Sheyko.
