THE SOCIAL IMPACT OF THE DESTRUCTION OF UKRAINE’S ELECTRICITY INFRASTRUCTURE BY THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Piotr Anklewicz
Abstract
Russian attacks on Ukraine’s electricity infrastructure have had a serious impact on
Ukrainian society. Disruptions in electricity supply have endangered health and life,
restricted access to education, worsened the economic situation and led to environmental
degradation. These attacks were part of Russia’s military and political strategy
to undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The lack of electricity
had a major impact on the economy which translated into an impoverished
society. The consequences of energy supply disruptions were also one of the important
causes of internal and external migration. These attacks were part of Russia’s
extensive military and political campaign to undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty and
territorial integrity, stir up anti-government sentiment and fracture the morale of
the Ukrainian people. Their effects will be felt for many years after the war ends.
