Russia attacked a major power station in the Dnipro region on November 25, 2025, continuing its sustained campaign to destroy Ukrainian energy infrastructure. The strike was part of a pattern of attacks targeting the electrical grid as winter weather arrives. Ukrainian repair crews were already stretched thin restoring previous damage when the new attacks occurred.
The attack on the Dnipro power station added to the growing list of damaged energy facilities across Ukraine. The strikes have created rolling blackouts and forced emergency rationing of electricity across the country. Ukrainian officials have warned that repeated attacks on energy infrastructure could leave millions without heat and electricity during freezing winter temperatures.
Russia is waging a deliberate campaign to freeze Ukraine into submission. Every power station they destroy brings us closer to a humanitarian catastrophe.
Winter Crisis
Ukraine faces a winter crisis as repeated attacks have damaged enough generating capacity to create significant electricity shortfalls. The attacks on transformers, substations, and power plants have degraded the national grid to the point where normal economic activity becomes difficult. Hospitals, water treatment facilities, and heating systems all require reliable electricity to function.
Repair Challenges
Ukrainian repair crews work around the clock to restore damaged infrastructure, often completing repairs only to see facilities struck again within days. The cycle of attack and repair has exhausted both equipment and personnel. International donors have provided transformers and other equipment, but the scale of destruction exceeds what aid can easily replace.
