Ukraine’s Energy Infrastructure: From Destruction to Resilience

With mounting losses on the battlefield and more than half of freshly-occupied territories liberated by Ukraine, since October 10, Russia has unleashed massive rocket and drone attacks on power and energy infrastructure, mercilessly targeting civilian infrastructure to punish Ukrainians for their defiance and try to break their spirit with the cold and dark. According to the United Nations, the Kremlin has destroyed 50% of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, putting millions of people at risk of sickness and death as temperatures continue to plunge. Their criminal intent is backfiring, rather than bend the will of Ukrainians, it has resulted in increased global support for Ukraine – in defending itself militarily, improving air defenses and restoring power, water and heat. Esteemed speakers include Ukrainian and American government officials and leading experts in energy and infrastructure matters, the head of Ukraine’s leading state-run energy company and the country’s largest investor providing large-scale financial support to strengthen energy resilience, sharing their valuable insights and perspectives on an issue that the world is watching very closely.
