This was reported by former Ukrenergo head Volodymyr Kudrytskyi in an interview with the Ukrainian Crisis Media Center, as conveyed by UNN.<\/p>\n<h2>Details<\/h2>\n<p>According to him, many power units at thermal power plants were destroyed or damaged, and to repair others, it was necessary to dismantle already destroyed units for spare parts.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A large number of power plants were destroyed or occupied by the Russians. Many power units underwent a process of so-called cannibalization \u2013 when equipment from completely destroyed units was removed to repair those that could still be launched. But these destroyed units themselves cannot be restored after that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Kudrytskyi explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He emphasized that traditional generation, inherited from Soviet times \u2013 nuclear, coal, gas-fired thermal power plants, and hydroelectric power plants \u2013 is gradually decreasing.<\/p>\n<h2>Recall<\/h2>\n<p>Naftogaz Group received 50 million euros from the EIB to ensure critical gas imports and support Ukraine&#039;s energy resilience during the winter. The funds will allow for the purchase of fuel for thermal power plants and stable gas supply, and will also be reinvested in renewable energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukraine has strategically lost a significant part of its traditional electricity generation due to Russian strikes and equipment dismantling.
