Major Russian strike cripples Ukraine’s power grid, European imports insufficient
Ukrainian system has a finite capacity for processing foreign electricity, making it hard to expand imports to meet demand.
Ukraine can no longer offset its energy deficit by importing electricity from Europe after a massive Russian missile and drone attack damaged key power plants across six regions overnight on 8 May.
Volodymyr Kudrytskyy, head of national energy company UkrEnergo, stated that the damage was extensive, substantially reducing generation capacity.
