Russian is threatened with blackout. How Ukraine will respond to the strokes of the Russian Federation by energy objects

This winter, Russians can fully feel what blackout is. The head of the Ministry of Defense of Rustem Umerov stated that Ukraine will respond to the strikes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation through the power system. The focus found out whether the Russian cities were really disconnected. In the morning of September 26, an unknown drone in the Kursk region dropped an explosive device on an electrical substation, resulting in seven settlements left without light.

The governor of the region Roman Starovoit stated that the incident occurred in the village of Snagost, the Korrenovsky District, and the drone that attacked the infrastructure, allegedly Ukrainian. Later, the source of LIGA. net confirmed that UAV could belong to Ukrainian special services. Officially, Kyiv did not confirm this information.

However, the Ministry of Defense, reflecting on the purposeful attacks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the Ukrainian Energy System this winter, stated that Ukraine, if necessary, is ready to answer. "But we will answer!" - the head of the Defense Office of Ukraine Rustem Umerov emphasized during the inclusion on the CNN. "Official information that drone [in Kursk region] was not Ukrainian. It could be a local UAV.

On the other hand, if there was a military unit next to the substation, the Rosgvardia object or other power structure involved in the armed aggression against Ukraine, it can be regarded as an object for attack. Russia is wringing a war against Ukraine, the rules should be observed, although it constantly violates them. Coordinator of the Information Resistance group Alexander Kovalenko. To arrange blackout in Ukraine, Russia purposefully strikes the country's energy infrastructure.

According to the military analyst Alexei Hetman, according to the rules of war, actions against civilians are considered illegal to either party. However, if the purpose of the impact was a military object, but due to the attack in the settlement there were problems with electricity, it is not regarded as a violation. "If you blow up the railway, it will complicate logistics to civilians, but the purpose of the operation was not a civilian population. The same with electricity in settlements.

Part of the Kursk region was left without light not because we intentionally attacked the power system, we attacked a military object. And the consequences could be different, "says the Hetman's focus. Kovalenko adds that in the case of deliberate attacks on electrical substations in the Russian Federation, Western partners will ask questions, but Kyiv is defending in this war, and therefore can use versatile ways of protection.

So the goals of the Ukrainian army can be a Russian military-industrial complex that feeds on the transmission line. The impact on the transmission lines by the Ukrainian side can disconnect the closest settlements, and at the same time influence the work of the MIC, which produces weapons. In other words, the Armed Forces does not have the task of deliberately deactivating Russian cities, but this can happen as a result of an attack on military objects of the Russian Federation.

According to experts, drones for such attacks are effective, as they can overcomes up to 1000 km and cause serious damage to the Russian power system, because repair work in the conditions of sanctions is problematic. "Earlier, they [the Russians] ordered equipment in Europe, now in China, but the quality there is low. And such blows will be repaired for a long time," Kovalenko said.
