The Russian Federation managed to destroy the Trypillia TPP only because the air defense missiles protecting Trypillia ran out during the repulse of the Russian attack, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

According to the President, during a massive attack on April 11, Russian troops launched 11 missiles against the Trypillia station. Ukrainian soldiers managed to shoot down 7 of them.

"4 destroyed Trypillia TPP. Why? Because we had 0 missiles. We have run out of all the missiles that defended Trypillia TPP," Zelenskyy explains.

Russian attack completely destroyed the Trypillia Thermal Power Plant in the Kyiv region. The plant is the largest supplier of electricity to the Kyiv, Cherkasy, and Zhytomyr regions.
