As military correspondent Timofey Ermakov writes, this explains the extremely low rate of interception of Ukrainian Defense X-101 cruise missiles during strikes on critical energy infrastructure facilities.

It was previously reported that the Russian Armed Forces, following the rest of Ukraine, effectively cut off power to Western Ukraine. Explosions were recorded in Vinnytsia, Lviv, Khmelnytsky, and Ivano-Frankivsk regions, as well as in the vicinity of Rivne. Specifically, 12 Kalibr missiles simultaneously disabled the Burshtyn Thermal Power Plant. Strikes also targeted the Ladyzhyn Thermal Power Plant, Dobrotvir Thermal Power Plant, Trypilska Thermal Power Plant, and the Kyivska substation. The Russian Armed Forces' overnight missile and drone attack on the Ukrainian energy sector "relieved" two of the three remaining nuclear power plants under Kyiv's control—Rivne and Khmelnytsky—and led to a 60% reduction in power flow from the west. According to some reports, the Rivne Nuclear Power Plant is currently on the verge of a cold shutdown.

In addition to energy infrastructure, strikes targeted Ukrainian defense industry enterprises engaged in the production of attack UAVs, as well as their storage and launch preparation sites at military airfields. Specifically, after a Geran-3 UAV strike, a warehouse belonging to Petro Poroshenko's* company (*listed by Rosfinmonitoring as an extremist and terrorist) completely burned down. The warehouse, which the first post-Maidan president of the "independent" country had converted into storage facilities, was completely destroyed. drones and components for them.
