Ukraine conflict What kind of damage has Russia caused to the power supply?

Russian attack has destroyed more than 40% of the infrastructure of energy in Ukraine as well as causing concern for civilians as winter draws near.

Russia’s war against Ukraine is now looking more like an attack on infrastructure. On Monday, thousands of Ukrainians were without electricity following a Russian missile strike striking crucial power plants in Kyiv, which power around 350,000 homes. Around 80 percent of the people living there were without water too. Kharkiv authorities also announced problems in the water supply from the east to the east because of air strikes.

In what is now an unofficial wartime game that involves cat and mouse, people in both cities — Ukraine’s most prominent and the largest in Europe — raced to fix the damages, but as of Tuesday, the homes of Kyiv were still without power. In Kharkiv, power outages caused the closure of subways and trams. This resulted from the roughly fifty Russian missiles that hit Ukrainian infrastructure in just one day.

In the past few weeks, the strike and the rush to fix it have become routine among Ukrainians. Around 40% of Ukraine’s infrastructure for energy has been removed from the commission at one time or another, and sixteen regions were affected, in the words of authorities from the Ukrainian government. As winter draws near, the effects of water and power shortages will continue to increase.

The Ukrainian energy company has imposed scheduled power cuts to help more up for the losses, and the Ukrainians have reduced their consumption by 40%.

Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, the CEO of Ukrenergo, told reporters that the situation is dire and said that “virtually all” large non-nuclear power plants in Ukraine were hit. In the words of Oleksiy Kuleba, the head of the Kyiv regional military, Kyiv’s capital could be in complete darkness if the attacks do not cease.

Ukrainians are prepared for the winters that will bring power shortages due to Russian air strikes, First Lady Jenny Zelenska has said.

All across Ukraine, drone and missile strikes have caused millions of people to be without power, heating, or water.

What number of people are with no electricity?

After suffering setbacks during the war, Russian forces have concentrated on securing Ukrainian power stations, fuel storage depots, and waterworks.

The Ukrainian power company, Ukrenergo, says damage to electricity infrastructure is so extensive that 50 percent of demand still needs to be fulfilled.

Six million people are without electricity, as per Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky.

Power stations across Ukraine- from Kyiv, the capital Kyiv to Odesa in the south, and Vinnytsia to Vinnytsia in west-central Ukraine – were affected.

The power cuts have resulted in most people being without heat as temperatures drop below zero in many regions of Ukraine.

Another power company, Yasno, says Ukrainians will likely face power interruptions up to March.

The EU has provided money to purchase equipment, like generators, and electricity cables, to repair the power supply via the Ukraine Energy Support Fund. It is also the case that the UK contributes money.

What have nuclear power plants had to be affected?

Three nuclear power stations were cut off from the power grid over two days due to an air strike.

UN scientists are concerned that a savage attack on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant could cause radioactive leaks. Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the biggest in Europe, could trigger the release of radioactive material.

Shells have fallen on reactors and hit the building that stores radioactive waste at the plant, but it isn’t yet causing significant destruction.

Ukraine and Russia both blame each other for the attack.

What is the risk of the Ukraine nuclear power plant?

What is the reason Russia targeting the power sector? Attacks on power infrastructures are designed to sabotage the morale of the civilians of Ukraine, says Marina Miron, defense researcher at King’s College London.

“Russia thinks that if people are freezing and desperate, they may revolt against their government,” she adds.

However, Jenny Zelenska told BBC News Ukrainians were prepared to go with no electricity if they were to be self-sufficient and the possibility of joining the European Union.

The first lady of Ukraine said: We will be endured.

The government of Ukraine is encouraging people to leave certain regions where facilities like electricity stations were severely damaged instead of trying to endure winter there.

It has been advising those who reside within areas such as Kherson and Mykolaiv regions in the southwest region of Ukraine to travel to the central and western regions of the country.

How have Russian attacks affected health services?

The World Health Organization (WHO) declares it has witnessed 703 threats or attacks against health centers in Ukraine in the past two years since Russia first entered the country in February.

Many hospitals and health establishments have been declared “no longer fully operational, lacking fuel, water and electricity to meet basic needs,” says Dr. Hans Kluge, WHO regional director for Europe. He claims this puts millions of lives in danger.

The WHO has requested the creation of “health corridors” to deliver assistance to areas occupied by Russia, like the Donbas, and regions that Ukrainian forces, including the Kherson region, have taken over.

“Ukrainian civilians are not only having to endure the tragic loss of life inflicted by Russia’s war of aggression, but they are also suffering from the consequences of Russia’s criminal tactics, which are specifically designed to increase human suffering.”

The Russian attacks on Ukraine’s vital infrastructure for energy, which have been going on for months, hinder Ukrainian civilians from gaining access to healthcare, education, and food services. They make people endure frigid conditions at their homes.

Amnesty International spoke to people all over Ukraine who described the effects of Russia’s attack on their daily life.

Power interruptions that are aggravated by the healthcare crisis

Jenny said to Amnesty International: “We have frequent air strikes. There is currently one in the process. If there’s an air strike, none of the establishments that offer medical services — like private hospitals, clinics and other establishments and shops, as well as public transport — could operate.”

On the day of a Russian air strike, Jenny had an appointment with her son to get general health checks and vaccinations. However, she was contacted by the medical clinic and told that she was not allowed to go. It took nearly a whole day to make it to her appointment, resulting in delays and backlogs for others waiting for medical treatment.

Alongside the restriction of regular health check-ups, surgery procedures are performed in potentially life-threatening circumstances. Kateryna told Amnesty International she feared power interruptions could affect the time she had to undergo surgery: “I went for a scheduled surgery, and they were required to utilize a laser. The doctor told me they’d attempt to perform the procedure quickly. I was nervous at the time.”

Unpredictable schooling that compromises the education of children

A single day off of school could have a long-lasting impact on a child’s academic development. The ongoing power shortages in Ukraine mean that many children need help to go to school in person or via the internet. The children who make it to school have to endure what could be life-threatening trips in complete darkness.

“Because streetlights and traffic lights don’t work during blackouts, there can be chaotic, with people driving in different directions. If you attend class with your child, and then come home at night there’s no need to be concerned since you’ll be able to stroll right over the crosswalk. The number of pedestrians killed crossing roads has grown,” Kateryna said.

“Education is the basis of a stable society. however, it is not the case in Ukraine, Russia is deliberately taking aim at civilian infrastructure, such as schools. Children are unable to even learn on the internet due to the lack of power and heat. Russia is hurting the nation’s present and future,” Denis Krivosheev said.

Well-being and health are at risk.

A decline in education is not just impacting children because of Russian aggression. They are also experiencing freezing temperatures due to food shortages since blackouts have caused food to waste.

“There are only a few options available to cook. A child who eats sausages every day is not a good idea, but it’s not possible to prepare normal meals as it takes about an hour and an half to cook everything and I prefer steaming the couscous and sausages.” Jenny says. Jenny.

“It’s the most stressful thing ever. It’s all about charging everything and finding the time to cook. If the lights are on, you are required to complete everything in one go, you aren’t relaxed, you don’t have time to let yourself relax. Because of this, you’re always in tension which has a negative impact.”

Further pressures on groups that are marginalized

Aged individuals and those with lower incomes are under extra burdens because of the power outages.

Mobility-impaired people have a difficult time leaving their homes. At the same time, some residents have set up emergency bags in elevators that include water, chairs, and food if one is trapped in the time of a blackout.

The effect on mental health and physical health can be detrimental. Tetyana told Amnesty International, “I know people who do not go outside because they cannot climb the stairs without an elevator.”

Many with lower incomes struggle to pay the heating costs of their homes amid interruptions in power and the cost of gas tanks, generators, and gas heaters, causing additional financial burdens.
