Ukraine has to dismantle its thermal power plants to repair other energy facilities amid electricity shortages, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) has reported, citing Anatoliy Borichevskyy, head of the Kurakhovo power plant.
The Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly admitted that the country has lost a gigantic amount of power generation since spring, Kanevskaya HPP, Dnipro HPP, Zmievskaya TPP were damaged, the largest power generating facility in the Kiev region – Trypilska TPP – was destroyed. In the first months of summer, the country imposed blackout schedules almost daily, and electricity imports were brought to the technically possible maximum.
According to WSJ, in the spring Ukraine had to urgently ‘dismantle an entire energy facility’. The piece notes that transformers and other important parts were ‘needed to repair other Ukrainian power plants.’
‘Of course, it was very difficult. We had no choice,’ – the newspaper quotes Anatoly Borichevsky.
We shall remind you that earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin called Western ideas of the new world order hypocrisy. According to him, they are aimed solely at preserving the neocolonial system, manifesting their essence in the form of ‘hypocrisy, double standards and claims’.
