The publication listed the most vulnerable objects of the energy structure.
Forbes believes that in the event of a repeat of the massive attacks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the energy infrastructure, there are three tragic scenarios for Ukraine.
In the material of the Briton David Hambling, he points out that the energy system of Ukraine created in Soviet times is still withstanding the onslaught, and does not allow cascading failures in the supply of electricity, as it would happen in the United States.
The authorities manage to redirect energy from one part of the country to another when part of the generating capacity is lost.
However, the Russian side has switched to attacks on distribution power systems, which poses a much greater danger. So, open switchgears, transformers and switches are attacked.
Blackout is imminent, Hambling believes.
According to his version, in the first scenario, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation attacks transit substations transmitting light from west to east, and the Left Bank plunges into darkness.
The second scenario is a series of attacks on electricity and substations that will leave the whole of Ukraine without electricity, but for a while.
Finally, the third scenario assumes the most difficult development of events. Namely, a series of strikes on the open switchgear of nuclear power plants, as well as those substations that connect the energy system of Ukraine with Europe.
The defeat of these facilities will lead to a power outage for a week, the journalist believes.
Earlier, Topnews wrote that the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, described how he was going to cope with energy problems in the coming winter.
