DTEK

DTEK is Ukraine's largest private energy firm. It is newsworthy due to a recent deadly Russian drone strike on a bus carrying its mine workers in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The attack, which killed at least 12 people and injured others, occurred approximately 40 miles from the frontline and has been described as a cynical and targeted act against energy sector employees. This incident highlights the ongoing impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on Ukraine's energy infrastructure and the safety of its workers, especially during the winter months when the power grid is already under strain from Russian attacks. The attack occurred hours after President Zelenskyy announced new peace talks, raising questions about Russia's commitment to de-escalation.
