In Ukraine, two hydroelectric power plants (HPP) damaged by Russian shelling on May 8 were decommissioned.

Attack on May 8
On the night of May 8, Russian troops massively attacked Ukraine with missiles and drones. The targets were power generation and transmission facilities in Poltava, Kirovohrad, Zaporizhzhia, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Vinnytsia regions.
Due to a deficit in the energy system after the missile and drone attack by the Russians, electricity supply was limited for industry and business throughout Ukraine on the evening of May 8.
