Naftogaz of Ukraine reported the most massive attack on its facilities during the entire war

Russia carried out the most massive attack on Naftogaz of Ukraine facilities since the beginning of the war, the state-owned company itself reported .

It is clarified that 35 missiles and 60 drones were launched at targets in the Kharkov and Poltava regions, and only some were shot down.

“No military sense. Another manifestation of Russian meanness is aimed solely at disrupting the heating season and depriving us of the opportunity to heat the homes of Ukrainians in winter,” said the chairman of the company’s board, Sergei Koretsky.

The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine also reported a large-scale attack on energy infrastructure facilities, including gas transportation facilities. In the Sumy region, two areas were cut off because of this.

Earlier in September, Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico in Beijing, publicly said that Moscow had “tolerated for a long time” Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, and now began to “respond seriously.”

Later, Bloomberg , citing interlocutors close to the Kremlin, wrote that Putin decided to intensify attacks on Ukrainian energy in order to force Ukraine to negotiate.
