Repair teams are coordinating their actions with the military and will begin restoration work as soon as the security situation allows," the statement said.

Russia strikes Naftogaz
Earlier, on April 4, Russian forces twice attacked Naftogaz infrastructure facilities in the Poltava region using drones. The strikes caused a fire.
The following day, Naftogaz CEO Sergii Koretskyi said Russia had deliberately targeted oil and gas infrastructure facilities in the Poltava and Sumy regions for the second day in a row.
