Russian strike damaged Ukrainian gas production facilities, Naftogaz says- Ukrainian natural gas production facilities were damaged in a Russian attack on Ukraine's central Poltava region overnight, the state-run oil and gas firm Naftogaz and Energy Minister German Galushchenko said on Tuesday. "Naftogaz Group's production facilities in Poltava region were damaged. Russia, which previously focused its missile and drone attacks on the Ukrainian electricity sector, has in recent months sharply stepped up its attacks on Ukrainian gas storage facilities and production fields. Ukraine consumes 110-140 mcm of gas a day in winter and consumption is covered almost equally by gas production and reserves from storage facilities. Both the drop in gas production and difficulties with extraction from emptied underground storage facilities may force Kyiv to increase the volume of imports.
