Three plants are down.

The city is not in the caption. Reuters reported on Friday that Russian strikes this month have forced three power plants owned by DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private energy company, to stop generating. Two men are still clearing one of them. This is not a Sunday toll. It is not Saturday’s count from Zaporizhzhia, and it is not added to that count.

Oleksiy, a technician, told Reuters he has lost count of the repairs. He said the latest strike was the most devastating, and that it could leave an entire region without heat and electricity this winter. Early one morning this month, Reuters reported, Russian missiles hit the plant, tore the roof and the walls, and buried turbines and boilers under debris that hundreds of workers have to clear by hand.

They (the Russians) seem obsessed with leaving us without electricity and heating, and they stick to that goal.

Last winter, Reuters reported, DTEK’s five plants were attacked 11 times. This November, the first month of the heating season, Russia has attacked three of those plants with dozens of missiles and drones and forced the stations to halt. Oleksiy said: “They (the Russians) seem obsessed with leaving us without electricity and heating, and they stick to that goal.”

A separate claim, not this plant. The Associated Press reported that Ukraine’s General Staff said Ukrainian forces struck a major Russian oil facility. The same dispatch said the General Staff reported that Friday’s strikes set several oil storage tanks on fire at the Samara oil pipeline station near the village of Prosvet, in Russia’s Samara region. The staff called the station a key part of the network that exports Russian oil. Moscow has not commented on that strike. The military also said it struck the Lipetsk-2 airfield in the Lipetsk region. Those are claims. This desk is not printing them as a measured loss.
