The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned Russia’s deliberate strikes against substations whose stable operation ensures the reliable external power supply of Ukrainian nuclear power plants. The ministry emphasized the importance of these facilities in ensuring a reliable external power supply for the country’s nuclear energy infrastructure.
The attacks on these critical infrastructure sites are viewed by Ukrainian officials as an escalation in the ongoing conflict, with potential consequences for both the energy security of Ukraine and the broader stability of the region. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called for a renewed international effort to impose sanctions on Russia for these actions, arguing that such strikes not only threaten the safety of the country’s nuclear facilities but also undermine global energy security.
In response to the attacks, Ukrainian officials have reiterated their commitment to protecting their nuclear energy infrastructure and have urged the international community to take decisive action. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also highlighted the need for increased support in the form of advanced defensive technologies and resources to secure Ukraine’s energy grid against further attacks.
