Protecting energy facilities is one of the top priorities for Ukraine during the upcoming winter season. Following Russia’s energy terror and massive attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure since the autumn of 2022, the Government and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have taken action to protect these vital assets.

In particular, Ukraine has developed different levels of protection for its energy system, reported the State Agency for Restoration and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine.
The first level of protection involves the construction of gabions and sandbags that can protect from debris caused by drones and missiles. The Agency for Restoration is currently safeguarding 90 facilities across 21 regions in this way.
The second level of protection consists of concrete structures erected around the Ukrenergo (Ukrainian National Power Company) primary network. 22 substations and 63 autotransformers in 14 regions have been protected from direct Russian air attacks, including UAVs and missiles.
