Ukrainian Energy Sector Reports 70% Loss in Generation Capacity
Recent assessments by DTEK confirm that Ukraine has lost approximately 70% of its total energy generation capacity following sustained Russian missile and drone campaigns. In Kyiv, civilians are currently limited to only 3-4 hours of electricity per day. This energy crisis has triggered a significant internal migration, with an estimated 600,000 residents fleeing the capital since the start of the year to seek more stable living conditions in western regions.
