Natalia Boyko, a member of the Supervisory Board of Naftogaz Ukrainy, has not confirmed or denied media reports that Ukraine lost 60% of its daily gas production following Russia’s most massive attack on the country’s gas infrastructure in early October. The attack, which targeted key pipelines and storage facilities, has raised concerns about the long-term stability of Ukraine’s energy sector. Ukraine has been relying heavily on gas imports from Russia, and any significant disruption could have serious implications for both its energy supply and broader economic stability.
The Naftogaz supervisory board, which oversees the state-owned energy company, is now under pressure to provide clarity on the extent of the damage and the timeline for recovery. While the official has not yet issued an official statement, experts warn that a 60% drop in gas production could lead to widespread shortages, particularly during the winter months when demand typically rises. The situation also highlights the vulnerability of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in the face of sustained military operations.
