Russia is trying to destroy the Ukrainian energy system piece by piece, achieving considerable success. But Ukraine is saved from a blackout thanks to energy supplies from Europe and an extensive network of autonomous energy supply systems. The French publication Le Monde writes about it.

The power distribution infrastructure has its own protection means: concrete blocks, sandbags, and sometimes iron nets to deter drones. But such protection does not protect from ballistic missiles, says Volodymyr Omelchenko, an energy expert at the Razumkov Centre think-tank.

However, Volodymyr Omelchenko from Razumkov Centre believes that the energy deficit in the country will only grow from July to next winter. In his opinion, if Ukraine does not receive additional air defence systems for protection from Russian attacks, millions of Ukrainians will have to leave their cities in the south and east next winter.
