The Russian strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure are drone and missile attacks, conducted since October 2022 by Russia as part of its invasion of Ukraine.[4] The strikes were targeted at civilian areas beyond the battlefield and critical energy infrastructure in particular,[5][6] which is considered a war crime.[7][8]

On October 9, 2022, Russian missile strikes targeted infrastructure in Zaporizhzhia city.[9] After that, a wave of explosions was reported from October 10 in dozens of cities, including Kyiv.[10] Further waves periodically hit Ukrainian infrastructure, killing and injuring many, and seriously affecting energy distribution across Ukraine and nearby countries. By 23 November 2022, nearly half of the country's energy systems had been destroyed and 50% of Ukrainian civilians were without electricity or heating.[11][12] By mid-December, Russia had aimed more than 1,000 missiles or drones at Ukraine's energy grid.[13]

According to the WHO, the impact for Ukrainians during the winter temperatures created the greatest health risk since World War II.[14] The methodical attacks on civilian power stations and electrical nodes imposed large economic and practical costs on Ukraine.[15][16][17] The strikes were assumed to be part of Russia's 'Strategic Operation for the Destruction of Critically Important Targets' (SODCIT) military doctrine, aimed at demoralizing the population and forcing the Ukrainian leadership into negotiations,[18][19] which is widely considered to have failed.[18]

The strikes were condemned internationally, with the European Commission describing the act as "barbaric"[20] and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg calling them "horrific and indiscriminate".[21] President Zelenskyy described the strikes as "absolute evil" and "terrorism".[22]

Background

Missile strike on Kyiv TV Tower, 1 March 2022.

In the early weeks of the war, aside of purely military fronts,[23] plagued by poor assessments, preparations and blunders,[24][25] Russia had bombed both information infrastructure[26][27][28] and fuel facilities.[29][30] Late February 2022 the Russian Ministry of Defence assured that its troops were not targeting Ukrainian cities, but that its actions were limited to surgically striking and incapacitating Ukrainian military infrastructure.[31] The ministry claimed that there were no threats whatsoever to the civilian population.[31] For months thereafter, Russia continued to hit Ukrainian infrastructure such as railways, fuel depots and bridges, in order to hinder the delivery of weapons to the front lines.[32] Those disruption efforts were mitigated via restoration of services and decentralised alternatives such as Starlink statellite internet services.

On October 6, the Ukrainian military reported that 86 Shahed 136 kamikaze drones had been launched by Russian forces in total, and between September 30 and October 6 Ukrainian forces had destroyed 24 out of 46 launched in that period.[33]

According to the Ukrainian Main Directorate of Intelligence, Russian troops received orders from the Kremlin to prepare for massive missile strikes on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure on 2 and 3 October.[3] On 8 October, the Crimean Bridge explosion shook a key symbol and military logistic line between Russia and Southern military fronts. Russia vowed to respond.

Missile debris in Larga

Nicu Popescu, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration of Moldova, announced that three Russian missiles launched on 10 October from the Black Sea aimed at Ukraine crossed through Moldovan airspace. He condemned this event in the "strongest possible terms" and called it a breach of international law. Popescu also added that the Russian ambassador to Moldova, Oleg Vasnetsov, had been summoned to provide explanations.[130]

On 31 October, a Russian missile, shot down by Ukrainian air defence systems, crashed into Naslavcea, a village in Moldova. No casualties were reported but windows of several residential houses were shattered. Moldovan authorities strongly condemned the renewed wave of attacks.[131]

On 5 December, a missile once again fell into Moldovan territory. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Moldova announced that it was found by the Moldovan Border Police in an orchard close to the city of Briceni. Due to this, patrolling intensified and the alert level was raised in the areas of Briceni and Ocnița. Russian military expert Alexei Leonkov said that this event was similar to the one that had occurred in Poland previously and that in both cases it was a missile originating from a S-300 missile system.[132]

Russia

Putin claimed the attacks on Ukraine were in retaliation for Ukraine's attack on the Crimean Bridge, despite initiating mass strike before that date.

Russia's Ministry of Defence stated on 10 October that it was satisfied with the strikes on Ukraine and claimed that all the targets, including military and energy objects, had been destroyed.[163]

On 10 October Russian President Vladimir Putin said the missile strikes on Ukraine were in retaliation for the alleged Ukrainian attack on the Crimean Bridge, which he called an act of "terrorism",[164] adding that if such attacks continued, the response would be "severe".[165][166]

Russian propagandists and government officials, such as Margarita Simonyan, Tigran Keosayan, Vladimir Solovyov, Evgeniy Poddubny and Ramzan Kadyrov,[167][168] welcomed the missile strikes on Ukraine,[169][170] with some calling to target power stations before winter.[171] Russian state-owned television channel Russia-1 spread false claims that the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, fled Ukraine following the missile strikes.[172] Russian pundits have also falsely claimed that the photos and videos of victims injured by shards of glass of a bombed high-rise building were staged.[173]

Remedial actions

United Nations

The UN launched an appeal through its Development Programme for the supply of power transformers, transformer substations, gas turbines and other critical items to Ukraine. The Office for the coordination of Humanitarian Affairs announced the roll out of a $1.7 billion programme for Ukrainians to buy food and other basics, saying it was the "largest cash assistance programme in history".[181]

European Parliament

In addition to €1 billion humanitarian assistance package, the European Union's Civil Protection Mechanism provided 500 generators with 300 more funded by charities. Repair kits were also provided.[182] On 23 November, as a joint initiative between the European Parliament and Eurocities, a campaign called "Generators of Hope" was launched. It called on 200 European cities to direct relief to Ukraine with the President of Eurocities and Mayor of Strasbourg, Dario Nardella saying "..We must act immediately. Winter is upon us [..] there is no time to waste".[183][184]

Turkish floating powerships

Turkey's Karpowership company was reported, 29 November as being in talks with Ukraine to provide up to three floating power generators. The ships, if they were provided, could provide up to 300 megawatts, enough for 1 million homes. Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, CEO of Ukrenergo, said that Russian missile attacks had caused "colossal" destruction and that practically no power stations in Ukraine had been left untouched.[185] For reasons to do with insurance in the war zone, discussions were ongoing 8 December with the UN and other aid agencies, to position the ships in Romania or Moldova. Power lines that interconnect the countries to Ukraine would be used to supply up to 400MW of electrical power.[186] On 26 January 2023 Ukraine's JSC Energy Co. signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Karpowership to develop and finance the implementation of the project.[187]

Light bulb appeal

The damage to Ukraine's energy infrastructure had caused a shortfall of approximately 2.5 gigawatts of power according to president Zelenskyy, speaking in Paris, 14 December. Electrical generators, he said, were now "as necessary [..] as armoured vehicles and bulletproof vests". The supply of 50 million LED lightbulbs to Ukraine would save around one gigawatt, reducing the shortfall by 40%. The European Union pledged to supply 30 million light bulbs.[188][189]

EBRD finance and Netherlands grant

Two loans of €150 million were agreed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development to Ukrenergo for equipment and capital structure support. A further €70 million was provided in grant form by the Netherlands making a combined package of €370 million.[190]
