In February 2024, Russia reportedly launched a series of attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities.
Ukrainian air defense forces have repeatedly repelled UAV attacks, but Russian strikes have likely damaged Ukrainian power plants and electrical substations
As noted, these attacks took place throughout Ukraine. Regional energy infrastructure was damaged , including in Donetsk, Dnipro and Lviv regions.
According to British intelligence, the Russian attacks were most likely carried out using a combination of UAVs, surface-to-surface missiles, and conventional artillery, rather than Russian long-range aircraft, as was observed in 2022 and 2023.
