Quote: "Prior to Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, Ukraine’s domestic energy production was around 55 gigawatts of electricity, among the largest in Europe. That power generation capacity has currently dropped below 20GW, due to bombardments or to Russian occupation taking those plants offline," the report says.

Background:

• Russia has already destroyed 9.2 GW of the Ukrainian generation.
• Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that the Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy sector have long-term consequences, and therefore, energy savings will be part of everyday life in the coming years.
