In Recent Days, Russia has destroyed 60% of Ukraine’s Gas Production with Strikes on the Kharkiv and Poltava Regions, Bloomberg reports, Citing Sources
This will likely force Kiev to spend 1.9 billion euros to import 4.4 billion cubic meters of fuel by the end of March – about 20% of annual consumption.
After these attacks, Ukraine asked partners for urgent provision of equipment to repair the energy system, additional air defense systems, and financial support to pay for gas.
According to sources, the cost of emergency repairs to the energy system is estimated at approximately 758 million euros.
“Although Ukraine survived previous winters thanks to generators and assistance to the civilian population during winter power outages, there is growing concern that the damage from recent attacks will not be repaired by the end of winter,” the article says.
Russian Strikes Knock Out More than Half of Ukraine Gas Production Ahead of Winter
Russian strikes in recent days have wiped out more than half of Ukraine’s domestic natural gas production, likely forcing the war-battered country to spend 1.9 billion euros ($2.2 billion) on fuel imports to survive the looming winter.
Kyiv told its allies earlier this week that a massive Russian barrage targeting the Kharkiv and Poltava regions on Oct. 3 took out roughly 60% of the country’s gas production, according to people with knowledge of the matter. They requested anonymity because the discussions are private.
