A lake effect snow warning is in effect for Wyoming County from Friday through the upcoming weekend. Substantial lake snow is possible.A worker speaks by mobile phone at DTEK's power plant after a recent Russian missile attack in Ukraine, Nov. 28, 2024.
“This is our life now. Workers at a thermal power plant that’s supposed to produce electricity are walking on frozen floors and using firewood to keep warm,” Oleksandr, 52, head of the Production Management Department, told The Associated Press. He spoke on condition that only his first name be used citing security concerns.
Oleksandr, who works at the power plant operated by Ukraine’s largest private energy company, DTEK, says since the station was first attacked in November 2022, it has been unable to return to full capacity due to continuous strikes that have left critical equipment in ruins. The exact location of the plant visited by the AP, details on the damage, and even workers’ last names cannot be disclosed for fear this information could help Russia coordinate future attacks.
“Potentially, Western countries could also help us with equipment, but their power grids have different characteristics,” Oleksandr said.
