Intensified Russian attacks leave Ukrainian energy infrastructure devastated | DW News
Russia is intensifing its attacks on energy infrastructure across Ukraine. Since late March, missile strikes have left some of the country’s major power plants in ruins - and Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko asks all Ukrainians to be prepared for even more power outages in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, electricians and engineers risk their lives to repair some of the worst technical destruction.

DW told us Russian missiles always got shot down. I wonder why then the power doesn't work.
Didn't you listen? Because Ukraine ran out of missiles.
@JG-xi4tu He is being sarcastic buddy, chill
@@piuswanyaga8361 How is hw beeing sarcastic? -"DW told us one thing" -"Something else is happening" That is suggesting false information and makes no mention of the clear cause; the lack of supply.
@@JG-xi4tu Buddy you do realize DW has been repotting falsehoods about Ukraine from the beginning. Most people in the know understood Ukraine had no chance, but the Western media worked hard to sell Ukraine was always winning.
@@piuswanyaga8361 You should watch more DW, if you want to judge what it did. For your information, my nanny that took care of me and my brother when we were young is ukrainian, from a russian speaking family in Donbas. If she tells me the same that DW tells me, a random internet stranger won't convince me they are all lying. Since the beginning, when Ukraine was mauling russia's army and recapturing town after town, DW's invited experts have always emphasized that the ukrainian war effort could only be sustained by delivieries. The developments after US-aid was cut off in *November* last year seems to validate that as well.
It's part of having America as friend

I remember last time DW said Russia is running out of weapons hahahahaha

True😂 Russia don't have soldiers, Ukraine is winning!!, Russia don't have weapons etc😂

Meanwhile US & EU mull over imposing 3000+ new sanctions against Russia 😆😂
West has to come out of their old thinking that their sanctions will impact other countries survival.
Moral lesson: never trust US/EU/NATO.
Cope harder bot
Why not trust the EU? Our support has nothing but gone up.
No, The lesson is: never trust MAGA under Trump. Support in Europe is strong and production of hardware and purchases are increasing. And the NATO got 2 new countries and a NATO lake as a present from your Master Putin.

About time to call negotiations immediately and end this insane war.
still illegal in Ukraine
Putin stand down and leave Russia give Ukraine back it's land and stop the bombing. Do you agree with the negotiation proposal
Putin is the only one we're all waiting for. He has ceded absolutely nothing since this started
They might as well hire Pinocchio to be Ukraine’s spokesperson since they always reports the Urks are winning the war
Negotiations are basically handing over the entire country of Ukraine to Russia. A full surrender.
Gee, what was the first thing the US military did when it invaded Iraq and Libya among other countries? Anyone?
Being bombed by US, I can confirm, electricity was out
1. The US never invaded lybia. 2. They tried to establish institutians and a stable government after the fall of the dictstorship
@@sH-ed5yf There are US troops right now in Libya. Not many, but some are there.
@@limedickandrew6016 Nope. Outside of the embassy there is not a single US base or troop contingent in lybia. Mostly cause all fsctions are hostile towards Amerika. But even if, kts funny how you guys think, that a few troops can invade an entire country.
@@sH-ed5yfStop your madness. When NATO was bombing Libya, were your eyes closed?
It was a bad decision for Ukraine to attack Russian oil refineries
russia has become a net importer of refined oil products. That is hilarious...
Russia does everything it can and want to do regardless of what ever like blowing up apartment blocks and dams or store military equipment in a sized nuklear powerplant and is happy about the restrictions on western weapons not to use them against Russian locations from where the Ukraine ist attacked. Taking out refineries weakens Russia and will have no specific influence humanitarian wise regarding the Russian selection of attacked objects. So it was a late but excellent decision because its slightly de funding the ongoing special military operation.

So what? The West has always, always said and maintained that Ukraine is going to win this war. So, where is the issue?
They have not. What are you talking about? Everyone was surprised how long they managed to defend themselves. And many people say they need much more support and weapons from us if we want them to win.

did he say ukraine somehow wins? are you serious even his question sounded like he knew ukraine has already lost
What about aggression nato against Yugoslavija,first thing they done destroyed power station,bridges and other infrastructure,what do you think people in the west???
Hypocrites cannot see themselves in the mirror .
NATO did a lightning strike campaign in the *summer* and cleared up their own explosives afterwards (Operation allied harvest). What russia is doing for the last 2 years is a campaign of suffering intentionally directed at the *civilian* population.
Meanwhile at Langley... Another Day Without Planning another Regime Change Somewhere Somehow IS Another WASTED DAY!👽
Shovels and micro chips from washing machines working pretty well as I see…
Russia is winning in my opinion despite all the early hype saying otherwise. They are playing the long game, they are getting Ukraine utilities one by one.
The "early hype" was 2022. 2023 was full of experts, including here on DW, warning that stable and sufficient aid to ukraine is crucial. And then November 2023 and the US Congress happened...
@@JG-xi4tu Yep, 2023 was crucial, and we missed the boat. Ukraine was not ready for the counteroffensive and should have remained defensive. The US is locked down in this political mess, and Europe; Europe for crying out loud still hasn't got their military things together even after 2 years. It's a disgrace.
@@JH24821 Europe is slow, but at least our support is going in the correct direction↗️
@@JG-xi4tu That is true. I guess what frustrates me is that there is a lot of talk about intentions; and while support for Ukraine is definitely being given I can't help but feel more is possible. Like there's still that hesitation that giving certain weapons (like the Taurus missiles from Germany) will cross a red line for Russia. Some politicians are still saying things like: "We also have to look at our economic relationship with Russia after the war. We can't push them too much." And I'm like: "What relationship? There's nothing worth saving as long as Putin is in charge." It's exactly that mindset (That economic relations will prevent war) that led us into this situation.
@@JH24821 Yes. Self-imposed red lines are definitely unhelpfull. Putin's russia has to be stopped, not handled gently.
Russia did not destroy these major power stations until this year. There must be a reason for that. Perhaps the reason is what Russia says - that they are in response to Ukraine attacking Russian oil refineries. In winter 2022 they knocked out the supply by hitting sub stations that could be repaired without too much difficulty or huge expense but this is destruction at a higher level.
Russia will always come up with some nonsense.
@@231rosslyn Then you have an explanation as to why Russia did not destroy these power stations in 2022 or in 2023 ?
@@Hereford1642 It's obvious. They were hoping to conquer Ukraine easily - and to get all the riches of the country intact. Now, seeing that they are unable to move the front line and to occupy the rest of the country, they changed the strategy to "scorched earth", for which they're infamous both from Chechnya and Syria. They openly call for making the place uninhabitable and defeat the country that way. Any surprises there?
@@Hereford1642urkaine still had missiles to defend itself. Now it's open season.
Blame it on the comedian who ordered a strike on Russian oil installation units. Don't play with Mr Putin
Then explain to me why russia has been doing the same for the last 2 years?
"The walls are closing in" as they say on CNN and MSDNC.
It's money well spent by the Americans
Haha they interview someone with a Ukrainian flag pin hahaha this is ridiculous, obviously this woman makes comments based on her fanaticism
😂😂😂😂
They never had unbiased people here
In Israeli standard, Russia has the right to defend itself. 🤣🤣🤣
Hä?
1:08 school in Ukraine with colors of the Russian flag. Interesting.
All good, keep going, nothing to see here. Ukraine is winning, trust the experts, surely they’ve been spot on through the entire conflict? Don’t you dare suggest negotiations, that would make you *evil.* 😒
Russia: "Kiew and Odessa before the end of the war" What kind of negotiations are you suggesting exactly?
@@JG-xi4tu No NATO-enlargement.
Instead of rebuilding huge powerplants that are easy targets, decentralize the gride and add solar, wind and micro hydro electric at the home level. Interconnect the loads across all houses. It makes it so that even if a houses are destroyed the remaining continue to support each other. cheaper to maintain vs million dollar distribution and generation stations.
Too one sided for my liking.
Russia is like a mountain that doesn't shake. All Ukraine money finished, almost all Ukraine soldiers finished, almost all Nato weapons finished, all us / nato sanctions finished, but Russia is still standing.

It's clear now. Ukraine is losing the war. If Ukraine doesn't get the military help on a very large scale , then russia could win this war easily now.
Russia could've attacked these power plants from day one but Ukraine wasted the opportunity to negotiate. They could've hit these plants in the dead of winter but Putin had mercy on the Khokols

Well, a Lvov based Ukraine with a size of Luxembourg can be at “European standards”. Free and independent you will never be, you will change a master of the same blood with you with a master that will squeeze and use you to oblivion (but hey, you may get a Tesla plant in return)
The EU, Turkey, NATO, The US are not blowing up Russian or Ukrainian energy infrastructure (but we could start) and neither did any of the European countries invade Ukraine twice. Nor did European countries occupy and subordinate the Baltics, Poland or the Scandinavian countries for decades or extract land from them (Finland, Ukraine, Poland). Why would so many post-Soviet Republics rush to join NATO? How do Belarus, Turkistan, Kazahkstan, Armenia and Azerbajhan feel about their former Russian brothers or in some cases, current Dictators? What does the average Russian know of their current human loss in Ukraine? How many peoples or nations are lining up to be subservient to Russian masters?
Hopefully you voted for Putin 😂
@@washuneluvhada7616 I wish I could.

One side of a story. Ukrainian energy infrastructure devastated by Russia. The Russians and Ukrainians are at war. However, one Ukraine accomplice is not at war with Russia. That accomplice was exposed hypothetically planning to devastate Russian infrastructure, say a bridge, and that accomplice is what, being morally correct and justifiable.?
The devastator
According to the UK media, Ukraine has won the war already! 😂
The Ukrainian says the power plant will not reconstructable. DW journalist : One small hope - the western nations will be able to supply the parts to reconstruct it.
It is reconstructible-but the Ukraine nowdays dont have enough resource to repair and rebuild it to its pristine state.
My gosh!! It’s terrible that Russia don in Ukraine 🇺🇦!!!!
Blame Zelensky not Russia

ukraine needs to reasses their strategy. why send drones into russia if such drones wont lead to russia surrendering. russia just comes harder on ukraine infrastructure after such attack
Nato ambition
