- Ukraine:
- Ukraine's extensive transmission infrastructure has suffered severe damage in the war, with capacity falling from 56 GW to an estimated 9 GW by the end of 2024.
- Some 64%, or 36 out of Ukraine’s 25 GW electricity generating capacity destroyed or occupied as of 2024.

Footnotes
- Ukrainian forces were notably only able to shoot down one of the seven Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles and did not shoot down any of the four Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles during the June 28 to 29 strike series, according to ISW’s June 29, 2025 assessment. The U.S. said July 1 that it had stopped deliveries of some of the lethal aid to Ukraine to beef up Pentagon stocks, including interceptor missiles for Patriot systems, according to WSJ. This development occurred one week after Donald Trump said he would consider approving his presidency’s first delivery of interceptors for Patriot air defense systems, which remain Ukraine’s essentially sole reliable means of shooting down Russian ballistic missiles, to Kyiv.
