"The scale of the destruction is terrible. It cannot be measured in money. This is the biggest challenge for us in the entire history of the enterprise. But I am convinced that we will cope with it," said Andriy Gota, Chairman of Centrenergo's Supervisory Board.The attack caused a large-scale fire in the plant's turbine shop, prompting ongoing efforts to localize the blaze. All the employees on shift during the shelling survived the attack, according to Centrenergo.
Spree of missile strikes
Russian forces launched more than 40 missiles and around 40 strike drones on 11 April. Ukrainian air defense units intercepted and eliminated 57 of these targets, with reports indicating Lviv Oblast as the primary focus of the Russian offensive. In Kharkiv, a Russian strike on an energy infrastructure site resulted in 200,000 customers losing electricity. Commenting on the recent attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine's European neighbors and international partners are acutely aware of the country's pressing need for effective air defense systems. He stressed that this critical moment offers a vital opportunity for the global community to showcase its united front against terrorism by supporting Ukraine's efforts to counter Russian terror."Air defense and other defensive support are needed, not turning a blind eye and long discussions," Zelenskyy said.
