Over the past week, Russians struck facilities belonging to the Naftogaz Group 13 times in various regions of Ukraine with drones and missiles.

The company notes that Russians have attacked one of its assets several times.

Russia is intensifying its strikes specifically against production infrastructure. Naftogaz confirms significant damage to production facilities and equipment.

Moreover, operations at some facilities have been suspended due to constant Russian strikes. This is the reason for the decline in production volumes.

The company's specialists begin restoration work as soon as the opportunity arises.

"Thanks to strict adherence to our safety protocols, none of our employees were injured during the enemy attacks – and that is the most important thing," Naftogaz emphasizes.

Preparations for winter are ongoing, but they are taking place against the backdrop of an unprecedented number of attacks on the company's facilities.

"I thank each and every one who is working at our production sites today under these conditions to secure the national gas supply," says Serhii Fedorenko, acting chairman of Naftogaz's board of directors.

Russians have already attacked Naftogaz Group facilities 293 times this year.

The company estimates that the intensity of the attacks has more than doubled compared to previous years.
