Russian forces have significantly stepped up attacks on fuel industry facilities and gas stations in recent months.
According to the government, more than 300 gas stations in Ukraine were destroyed or damaged as a result of attacks during the past six months.
Gas stations are de facto critical infrastructure during the war, as they provide fuel for logistics, the market and civilians.
In particular, facilities belonging to the Ukrnafta network have come under systematic Russian attacks. It is currently the country's largest fuel retail network.
Recent incidents include attacks on the company's gas stations in Kyiv. Experts say targeted strikes on fuel networks are aimed at creating shortages and triggering panic among the population.
In addition, Russian forces regularly attack other fuel networks and infrastructure facilities across the regions.
For example, during another wave of attacks, Russia struck gas stations in the Zhytomyr region near Zviahel along the M-06 highway.
