Ukraine Expands Wind Farm Amid Ongoing Russian Invasion

The move, announced at COP28, comes as the country grapples with the environmental and infrastructural damage caused by the conflict.

Ukraine announced a 450 million euro ($489 million) expansion of a wind farm in its Mykolaiv region at the United Nations COP28 climate talks.
The turbines of the wind farm are designed to be spread far enough apart to survive any Russian missile attack.
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources Geoffrey R. Pyatt denounced Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine as a 'fundamental challenge to the international system.'
Russia's war on Ukraine has led to the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam, causing deadly flooding, threatening drinking water supplies, and unleashing an environmental catastrophe.
Russia last winter destroyed about half of Ukraine's electricity infrastructure, leading to what Ukrainian officials described as 'energy terror.'
