Do you think Ukraine is able to rebuild electrical supply "as before" after missiles' attacks even w/out spare parts?

They’re still actively being bombed and fighting off fascists but yeah when it’s done they will rebuild.

They claim restoration within several hours. Do you think they can easily replace from warehouses and repair broken to re-supply warehouses to continue for long under current conditions? I'm asking you as technology guru knowing about transformers and the like.
As I been reading claims the grid deteriorates, I wonder what parts could be damaged that cannot be repaired so easily as transformers.
