The Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC) was activated in Ukraine on 03 March 2022 following the escalation of armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. ETC SitReps are distributed monthly.
Highlights
• On 07 April, Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant—Europe’s largest and currently under the military occupation of the Russian Federation—was directly targeted in military action for the first time since November 2022.
• Further, on 22 April, the TV tower in Kharkiv was destroyed, partially disrupting telecommunications. Despite these challenges, ETC services remain operational.
• On 18 April, the ETC delivered critical Security Communications System (SCS) training for 20 UN staff in Mykolaiv to boost the safety and security of humanitarians operating in an increasingly volatile environment.
