## Summary

Ukraine's pre-war generation capacity (~55 GW) fell to ~17.5 GW (2025) and ~11.5 GW (Feb 2026) — a loss of ~43.5 GW over 4 years of war, per Ukrainian Ministry of Energy/Ukrenergo data. Kakhovka Dam destroyed June 2023 (attributed by Ukraine/Western govts to Russia). Greenpeace documented 217 attacks on energy infrastructure since start of 2026 alone; reporting describes a 5th consecutive winter strike campaign as of Aug 2026 (230 cumulative strikes on DTEK thermal plants). Ukraine imports up to 2.3 GW from Europe (winter 2025-26) and exports surplus in milder months (450,000 MWh record, Aug 2025). Zaporizhzhia NPP (Europe's largest, 6 reactors) under Russian military occupation since March 2022, cold shutdown since Sept 2022, lost external power 25+ times (13 times since April 2026 alone per IAEA/OECD NEA), relying on ~10-day diesel backup each time. 18 Aug 2026: drone explosion at staff bus stop killed 1, injured 19 (IAEA). IAEA maintains unprecedented continuous on-site monitoring since Sept 2022. Plant's long-term political status remains unresolved even in any future settlement. EU committed €920M+ (Feb 2026) for winter 2026-27 grid resilience. DTEK's Tyligulska wind farm described as world's first built during active war.
