Russia has launched a major attack on the gas infrastructure of the Naftogaz group on the night of July 22, significantly damaging its facilities. Serhiy Koretsky, the chairman of Naftogaz, confirmed the attack and the subsequent destruction of the infrastructure.
The attack has raised concerns about the stability of Ukraine’s energy supply, especially as the country continues to face challenges in maintaining its gas infrastructure amid ongoing conflict. Naftogaz, a critical player in Ukraine’s energy sector, is now working closely with international allies to assess the damage and plan for repairs.
Experts warn that the attack could have long-term implications for Ukraine’s energy security and its ability to sustain its economy in the face of prolonged conflict. The damage to gas facilities may lead to increased reliance on alternative energy sources and could impact the country’s energy exports.
Meanwhile, international reactions have been swift, with several countries condemning the attack and offering support for Ukraine’s energy sector. The incident highlights the growing vulnerability of critical infrastructure in conflict zones and the need for global cooperation to ensure energy security.
