The main reason for this is that during years of full-scale war the country's energy system has remained inadequately protected. This was pointed out by Ludmyla Kovalevska, a Kyiv City Council deputy from the EU faction, during a broadcast on Apostrophe TV.
According to her, critical facilities and infrastructure, including around water utilities, are today suffering due to the lack of proper protection of energy facilities.
“What we are facing is a problem with the water utility. This problem is primarily due to the fact that for 5 years the energy system of the country is very poorly protected. Ukrenergo facilities are actually protected, well, very weakly,” says Ludmyla Kovalevska.
Why experts' warnings about protecting the energy sector were not implemented
The deputy recalled that as early as 2023 year, former head of Ukrenergo Volodymyr Kudrytskyi stressed the need for urgent protection of transformers near nuclear power plants, as well as the creation of reliable protection rings around large cities.
However, as Kovalevska notes, real steps in this direction were practically not taken, which led to the current large-scale crises.
