Ukraine wants to supply the European Union with more electricity from its own country in order to overcome the energy crisis sparked by Russia. As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced in his recent video address, the country is planning "an increase in our electricity exports for consumers in the European Union". "Step by step, we are making Ukraine one of the guarantors of European energy security, precisely through our domestic electrical energy production," said Zelenskyy.
Before the war, Ukraine had covered half of its energy needs from nuclear power. A large part is not being used at the moment, as production has largely come to a standstill due to the war. However, Russian troops have now captured the largest nuclear power plant in Enerhodar, a hydroelectric power plant on the Dnipro River and at least two coal-fired power plants.

According to a senior adviser to Zelenskyy, Russia is undertaking a "massive redeployment" of troops towards the three southern regions of Kherson, Melitopol and Zaporizhia. Advisor Oleksiy Arestovych also confirmed earlier statements by forces loyal to the Kremlin that the country's second largest power plant is in Russian hands.
