Details: DTEK added that its thermal power plants have been attacked more than 220 times since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.

Background:

• Russia carried out its second large-scale attack on Ukraine's energy system since the beginning of the year, with energy facilities in eight oblasts coming under missile and drone strikes.
• Ukraine's nuclear power plants were forced to reduce their generation capacity as a result of Russia's large-scale attack.
• On 7 February, Russia carried out a combined large-scale attack on Ukraine. In Kyiv Oblast, a fire broke out at the Roshen warehouse facility as a result of a nighttime Russian UAV attack.
