The Russian army returned to the Ukrainian gas storage facilities

For two days in a row, the Russian army has been retaliating against gas production and fuel storage at Ukraine.

"Russia has been continuously attacking Naftogaz Group facilities in the Kharkiv and Chernihiv regions for two days in a row," the national company reports.

According to her, gas storage facilities and production facilities of Naftogaz were retaliated against. They claim that about 60 attack drones attacked and there is destruction.

"As soon as the situation allows, our specialists, together with the units of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, will assess the consequences and begin their liquidation," said Sergey Koretsky, Chairman of the Management Board of Naftogaz.

The main gas storage facilities at Ukraine is located in Western Ukraine. More than 25 billion cubic meters can be stored there in four UGS facilities. There are six storage facilities in the east of the country, but they are smaller — up to 1-1.5 billion cubic meters each. However, they help to maintain gas supply to the region, which is also the main producing center of the country.

As reported by EADaily , gas consumption by Ukraine has significantly decreased this heating season. Approximately 18%. Due to the retaliatory strikes of the Russian army, the country lost power plants and reduced consumption by 2 billion cubic meters. At the same time, electricity imports have increased, and retaliatory strikes on gas production in the country last and this year forced Kiev to import 6.5 billion cubic meters worth at least $ 3 billion, which were borrowed.
