Russia attacks Naftogaz facilities, damaging gas production facilities. According to Naftogaz of Ukraine statement, there were no casualties.
Russian troops have again attacked Naftogaz Group facilities, damaging gas production facilities. This is the eighteenth combined attack on the company's infrastructure since the start of the full-scale war and the eighth this year.
Fortunately, there were no casualties, and experts are currently working to eliminate the consequences.
Gas supply will be resumed immediately to ensure stable operation of the country's energy system.
Roman Chumak, CEO of Naftogaz Group, says that such attacks are an attempt to undermine Ukraine's energy stability, but the Naftogaz team and all energy workers continue to fight for uninterrupted energy supplies.
Ceasefire for energy facilities attacks
The talks between Ukraine and the US, and Russia-US in March led to an agreement on a 30-day ceasefire between Kyiv and Moscow.
Ukraine and the United States issued joint statements on what was agreed upon in Saudi Arabia.
A similar statement was published by the Russians, but their document specified conditions for a truce with Ukraine at sea. The Russians claimed that the truce on strikes on energy facilities has been in effect since March 18.
Yesterday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russian troops had attacked the energy infrastructure in Kherson, leaving local residents without electricity.
He instructed Defense Minister Rustem Umerov to provide the United States with evidence of the attack and emphasized that he was waiting for Washington's response.
Ukraine's Deputy Foreign Minister Heorhii Tykhyi said that the date of March 18 is a fictitious Russian propaganda related to a call between Putin and Trump. He emphasized that this date had no factual basis and was only an invention of the Russian side.
