Not only the Russian military, but also specialists in the field of energy took part in the preparation of Russia’s attacks on the Ukrainian energy system. Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, chairman of the board of NEC «Ukrenergo», stated this in an interview with Finnacial Times.
«The attacks were planned and carried out not only by the Russian military, but also by Russian energy companies,» the official said, explaining why Russia is targeting key nodes of the transmission system and not power plants.
According to him, Russian engineers were thoroughly familiar with the peculiarities of Ukraine’s power grid, since before the start of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, it was combined with the power systems of Russia and Belarus.
However, after analyzing the Russian strategy, Ukrainian energy experts take measures aimed at minimizing the consequences of Russian attacks.
