A Russia's war in Ucrania already brings a simulator devastating on infrastructure renewable energy of the country, according to Ukraine's Prime Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emine Dzheppar.

on your twitter, the information executivemou that about 40% a 50% da Ukrainian solar energy infrastructure already was destroyed by the invasion of Russian troops, initiated at the behest of President Vladimir Putin, in February this year. 

O result Só it wasn't worse than that recorded for wind energy, which has had approximately 90% of the structure of its parks destroyed. “Russia continues to terrorize Ukrainians and create an energy crisis in our country,” Dzheppar highlighted.

Currently, the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy does not provide a breakdown of the country's energy consumption sources due to martial law restrictions. What is known, however, is that, in 2021, as solar and wind energy represented approximately 7% of the country's energy consumption. 

In the understanding of Ukrainian authorities, Russian attacks – with drones and missiles – are being orchestrated to target important infrastructure as Ukraine enters winter – the period of the year with the greatest need for energy consumption by the population. 

In the entities' assessment, by hitting renewable plants, thermoelectric plants, electricity substations, transformers and oil pipelines, Russian forces would be impacting Ukrainians' ability to access basic resources, such as energy, water and internet.

Last Saturday alone (22), for example, more than 1,5 million energy subscribers were left without power, according to Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the Ukrainian president's office. Volodymyr Zelensky.
