Russian War Against Ukraine: Energy Dimension DiXi Group alert (status as of 11:00, March 9 ) Set A2/AD and no - fly zones over Ukraine’s nuclear facilities! Ban imports of Russian oil and gas! #StopRussianAggression #StandWithUkraine On the 14 th day of the Russian aggressive war against Ukraine, the enemy continues to bomb cities and to kill civillians. Destruction of energy infrastructure also continues in the situation of no decision on ‘sky closure’ (creation of a no - fly zone over Ukraine by allies). The enemy continues to use tactics of creati ng humanitarian disasters, trying to keep some cities and towns under siege. Hundreds of thousands of consumers remain without electricity and gas supply. Besides, representatives of the aggressor issued threats to gas transit to the EU. The Russian invade rs continue to essentially hold hostage the personnel of the Zaporizhzhia NPP and the Chornobyl NPP Exclusion Zone. There is an official information about tortures of the ZNPP personnel. The Chornobyl NPP site was fully cut from electricity supply. At the same time, the world started to impose embargo on Russian energy supplies. The U.S. introduced full ban on Russian oil and gas imports, and the UK promised to gradually phase - out Russian energy supplies by the end of 2022. Power system operation As of 11:30 on March 9, Ukrain e's power system stably operate s in an autonomous (isolated) mode for the 1 4 t h day in a row. The frequency in the network is maintained at 50 Hz. The electricity consumption is of a regular character and the system fully covers current demand in electricity without forced disconnection of consumers Emergency crews of Ukrenergo and d istribution system operators inspect transmission lines damaged after night shelling and air attacks and determine the possibility of prompt repairs and restoration of electricity supply At the same time, according to the Minister of Energy Herman Halushc henko, the process of synchronizin g the Ukrainian power system with the ENTSO - E is in the final stages and is expected within a week Radiation safety According to Energoatom, as of 10 am on March 9, Ukraine's NPPs continue to operate stabl y Radiation, fire, and environmental conditions at the plants and adjacent areas have not changed and are within standard limits The Zaporizhzhia NPP and the city of Energodar remain under Russian military contro l for the sixth day in a row, which poses a significant risk of violations of nuclear a nd radiation safety of the facility, the country, the European region, and globall y Currently, two ZNPP units are operating and connected to the network. On March 7, the transformer of unit 6 was under maintenance after damaging its oil system on March 4 during the shelling of ZNPP by the Russian occupants. Also, two high - voltage 750 kV transmission lines - Zaporizhzhia and South Donbass - remain disconnected due to damage The operational personnel monitors the condition of power units and ensures their s afe operation. At the same time, the personnel is under severe psychological pressure and, as the Minister of Energy Herman Halushchenko said, being torture d b y the occupier s Starting from March 9, it is planned that a day shift will arrive at the ZNPP, in addition to operational personnel Automated systems of radiation control of NPPs, sanitary protection zone, and observation zone operate in normal mode; no changes in radiation level were recorded. However, the ZNPP website is still offline, so real - time radiation data is still not publicly available In addition, Ukraine informed the IAEA that the Chornobyl NPP personnel held hostage by the Russian terrorist s have been working for 13 consecutive days without any shift s and with limited access to food, water, and medicine. Moreover, t he remote data transmission from safeguards monitoring systems installed at the Chornobyl NPP site had been lost According to Ukrenergo, as of 12:20 on March 9, the electricity supply of the Chornobyl NPP site and the city of Slavutych was completely disrupte d due to the Russian occupiers’ actions. All this poses significant threats to nuclear and radiation safet y . In turn, Ukraine asked the IAEA to lead international efforts to ad dress this dangerous situation. However, the IAEA reactio n is still expressed in the form of deep concern and readiness to intervene without appropriate specific action Attacks: Sumy region For almost two hours in a row, the Russian troops bombarded and shelled the civilian infrastructure of the city of Okhtyrka.
