At this rate, our semi-blackout will become complete - Karasev
The latest shelling creates the risk of fragmentation of the unified centralized energy system of Ukraine into local ones, which are much easier to destroy.
Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Karasev stated this in his video blog, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Deputy Getmantsev, head of the Verkhovna Rada Tax Committee, said that we are losing 200 million dollars a day - the war costs us losses, costs, and so on. And if you look at the budget indicators for October of this year, then 245 billion expenses - 135 of them are borrowings, grants, preferential loans from the West.
And if we take the internal resource in terms of income, then only 87 billion hryvnia out of these 245 are the income of the tax and customs service. This means that economically, we continue to destroy our railway and so on infrastructure, and large hydroelectric power stations are already under attack.
“In the Chernivtsi region, the extreme southwest of Ukraine, a hydroelectric power station and an electrical substation were destroyed by bombs, which pulled the entire region into at least a semi-blackout. And the danger is that, unlike on October 10, these attacks could lead to the disappearance of a single centralized energy system, which made it possible for Ukrenergo to carry out the flow of electricity.
And if the strikes are of the same type as the day before, this could turn the centralized energy system into local things that can be destroyed much more easily,” Karasev said.
