Russia attacks the gas infrastructure of Ukraine: how the heating season will be ensured.

According to ТСН: Russian forces continue to try to undermine Ukraine's energy stability, focusing their attacks not only on electrical networks but also on gas infrastructure.

Ukraine's Deputy Minister of Energy Mykola Kolisnyk noted that energy workers are forced to operate under extreme conditions. They not only eliminate the consequences of nighttime attacks but also face natural phenomena.

Problems in Chernihiv Region and the Consequences of Attacks

The enemy is actively shelling Chernihiv Region, where significant damage to electrical networks has been recorded. Restoration work is complicated by the weather. However, the ministry reports that some of the consequences of the bad weather and shelling have been eliminated, and electricity is returning to homes.

Strikes on Gas Infrastructure

The occupiers have also focused their attacks on gas production and gas transportation facilities. The goal of such actions is clear — to disrupt the heating season.

To reduce risks and ensure stable gas supplies to consumers, Ukraine is increasing its purchases from abroad. Kolisnyk stated: 'Regarding gas infrastructure: the enemy is striking at it. Currently, additional imports of natural gas are being made to minimize the consequences of the strikes.'

The Ministry of Energy is prepared for potential new attacks by the aggressor and plans to continue gas imports until the end of the heating season, which will allow for balancing the system even in the event of further damage to infrastructure.

It is also worth noting that the Russians deliberately attacked district heating plants in Kyiv on the night of January 9. This resulted in electricity outages and disruptions to water supply in some areas of the capital due to damage to substations, lines, and generation facilities.

In this difficult situation, Ukrainian energy workers continue their efforts to guarantee the supply of gas and electricity to consumers. Their professionalism and willingness to work in the face of threats demonstrate their dedication to the task. It is also important that state bodies do not overlook the problems associated with energy attacks, and the population can hope for the timely restoration of infrastructure.
