In brief
Russian attacks and air alerts leave crews only one to two hours a day for full repair work at a damaged Ukrainian power plant, DTEK’s chief executive said. Reconstruction is expected to last at least until next summer.
DTEK chief executive Maksym Timchenko said repeated attacks and air alerts severely restrict repair work at the plant, according to RBC-Ukraine’s account of a BBC report. The report puts reconstruction work lasting at least until next summer, an estimate rather than a confirmed completion date.
Journalists visited one of Ukraine’s largest power plants after a ballistic missile strike caused severe destruction. Seven air alerts sounded during their four-hour visit, forcing workers to interrupt repairs and take shelter. Plant employee Volodymyr Kovalenko described the damage as particularly severe compared with previous attacks.
Timchenko said available air defences could not protect every critical infrastructure site. RBC-Ukraine’s report did not specify the plant’s name or precise location, or the dates of the strike and the journalists’ visit.
