La situazione è pessima in Ucraina.

Come avevo scritto giorni fa ... ci sono problemi coi ricambi, sono un preveggente.

UkrEnergo says it has 70 repair teams working around the country non-stop.
More serious is the lack of equipment. Since the spring, Western power companies have been shipping to Ukraine transformers, circuit breakers, switches, generators, cable and other gear. Poland’s PGE and Tauron, France’s Schneider Electric, Germany’s EON and 50 Hertz, and other firms from Finland, Lithuania, Portugal and America have all chipped in. But compared with what Russia has destroyed in its latest wave of missile strikes, it is “a drop in the ocean”, says Oleksiy Povolotsky, head of humanitarian and technical aid at DTEK.

Of 40 transformers DTEK needs to replace, Mr Sakharuk says, it has so far been able to scrounge up only three.

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has already allowed the country to repurpose a €150m ($148m) loan, meant for modernising the electric grid, to simply keeping it running. On October 24th it announced further loans of up to €3bn, partly for the power grid.
