Director General of Ukrhydroenergo Ihor Syrota stated that it will take years to restore the capacity of the Dnipro HPP in Zaporizhzhia to the condition before the missile strike.
‘Today, we do not know how long it will take to restore, but we already understand: it will take years to restore the Dnipro HPS to the condition before the missile strike. The damage is great,’ Syrota said.
He detailed that at least 6 Russian missiles hit the power plant causing severe damage. The machine hall of the plant is still blocked by the rubble.
The CEO also added that the dam was not damaged and there is no threat of its collapse.
The missile attack on the Dnipro HPP in Zaporizhzhia took place on March 22.

The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
