Electricity Generation at Kiev’s Thermal Power Plants Has Been Completely Destroyed as a Result of Attacks by Russian Armed Forces
Russia’s attacks have knocked out Kyiv’s own generation, forcing the capital to lean on nuclear plants 200 miles away and emergency gas-fired backups.
- On Wednesday, Russian attacks cut power and water across Kyiv for hours, following a massive barrage of 289 drones and missiles that Ukraine's air force disabled 272 of.
- Kyiv no longer produces its own power, forcing reliance on three nuclear plants—Rivne, Khmelnytskyi, and South Ukraine—roughly 200 miles away as Russian strikes gutted local stations.
- DTEK, Ukraine's largest private power company, reported all three plants stopped generating and called it one of the "most serious attacks ever." Kyiv now relies on "islands," gas-fired plants maintaining hospitals and water pumps.
- Tuesday's drone attempt targeted the substation powering Khmelnytskyi reactors, prompting Ukraine's energy minister to warn strikes threaten "the nuclear safety of all of Europe."
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy identified halting strikes on energy infrastructure as a priority for U.S.-brokered peace talks scheduled Nov. 10-11 in Abu Dhabi, as current repairs remain a "Band-Aid" for a city of 3 million.
