Rusai išjungė elektrą visoje Ukrainoje
„Largest Ever” Russian Ballistic Attack Cripples Ukrainian Energy Grid
Nov 09, 2025
Praėjusią naktį Rusija smogė Ukrainai, surengdama tai, kas vadinama didžiausia balistinių raketų ataka per visus beveik ketverius metus trunkantį karą.
Ukrainos pagrindinė energetikos institucija pranešė, kad visos šalies šiluminės elektrinės buvo išjungtos, o šalyje kilo plačios elektros energijos tiekimo pertraukos.
Ukrainian MP Kira Rudik:
The official energy authority Tsentroenergo writes:
The type of panicked teeth-gnashing has never been seen before—here from Ukrainian foreign minister Sybiha:
RussiansWithAttitude had what is likely the most correct take on Russia’s planning surrounding this:
mūgiai buvo surengti dviejų atominių elektrinių pastotėse.
Kyjivas skubiai reikalauja sušaukti TATENA (Tarptautinės atominės energijos agentūros) tarybą, – Ukrainos užsienio reikalų ministerija kreipiasi į Europą pagalbos. 🤷♂️▪️Pasak pranešimų, Kyjivas, pasitelkdamas propagandinius kaltinimus, mėgina sustabdyti smūgius savo silpstančiam energetikos sektoriui. Dabar Zelenskio pusė įspėja apie branduolinio saugumo grėsmę Europai:
➖ „Per šiandienos atakas vėl buvo taikomasi į pastotes, tiekiančias elektrą Chmelnyckio ir Rivnės atominių elektrinių sistemoms. Rusija kelia grėsmę Europos branduoliniam saugumui“, – skundėsi Ukrainos užsienio reikalų ministras Sybiga.
Kyjive nutrūko elektros tiekimas, o dėl įtampos šuolių sproginėjo elektriniai tramvajai.the purpose of the energy grid strikes isn’t to take out the grid, but to 1) create problems, tension and lots of busywork for the ukrainian rear, 2) bring the grid to the edge, to a point where a single strike package targeting 750 kVs and NPPs could take it out for real, 3) as a consequence of 2), be ready to escalate at a moment’s notice once a “third party” comes into play. i think people severely underestimate how much russian planning goes into preparing for the eventual open NATO/EU entry into the war. it’s also a demonstration for the latter to disincentivize that. “look at how much stuff in europe we could be blowing up every single night and there’s nothing you could do against it, so stay the fuck out”
This is absolutely a good point, as well:
Many people who want a total power grid collapse in Ukraine likely have not thought it entirely through. It would mean millions of elderly, sick, and otherwise helpless people suffering and going on the brink—a situation that would be seized upon with glee by the Western press machine and turned into a second Holodomor such that even Russia’s allies would balk at their continued support.
That being said, what we can conclude is that the situation is certainly different, and in general far worse than it has been in the past, particularly now that Ukraine’s air defenses are attritioned and Russian strike capabilities are more advanced and numerous than ever.
Here Ukraine’s Air Force spokesman Yuri Ignat explains that Russia is using more ballistics than ever before:
However, we must also consider the very real possibility that Russia is merely bringing Ukraine to such an energy brink for the sake of deterring Ukraine’s own further strikes on Russia’s energy sector, which have been painful in conjunction with the various ongoing Western sanctions instruments, albeit not anywhere near existential as claimed.
For Russia and Putin a kind of war ‘status quo’, where Russia can continue to maintain economic health, is the ideal scenario, and Russia would much rather have no strikes on its own energy centers in exchange for walking back the same on Ukraine. This is because Putin knows the AFU is already collapsing even without the focus on Ukraine’s energy grid, so taking out the grid is not a particular prerequisite for victory.
After all, as stated earlier, what could Russia’s goal really be in the total collapse of the Ukrainian energy grid? It would do little good to have a new Holodomor campaign be launched by the West’s global information machine. But this is merely to play devil’s advocate and muse on the possibilities; it could very well be wrong, and Russia may actually seek to bring down the grid once and for all, though I remain somewhat skeptical of the long-term moral efficacy of this.
