“Their tactics have changed – unfortunately, not for the better for us,” Svitlana Grynchuk, Ukraine’s deputy energy minister, told CNN.
In the first two years of war, Russian attacks were more scattered, firing salvos of missiles to target large swathes of Ukraine’s energy system.
More than 200,000 people were left without power after Russian attacks Thursday.
But Ukraine is now confronting a wholly different task: repairing not just substations, but entire power plants.
Rather than rebuilding large – and, without air defenses, vulnerable – power plants, it may shift how it produces its energy.
