“On the night of January 17, Russia carried out another attack on gas production equipment in Ukraine, Naftogaz reported. This is the sixth attack in a week, which the company says is reducing production and forcing more imports”, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org
According to Naftogaz, rescue services and relevant emergency crews are working at the site, assessing the scale of the damage and determining priority measures for recovery. There were no casualties as a result of the attack.
“Such attacks have a negative impact on the volume of natural gas production, which makes it necessary to compensate for losses by increasing imports. Taking advantage of abnormal weather conditions, the enemy is intensifying attacks on civilian infrastructure, trying to deprive us of warmth, to create unbearable living conditions,” Serhiy Koretskyi, chairman of the board of Naftogaz of Ukraine, said.
The Russian military regularly attacks Ukrainian regions with various types of weapons – attack UAVs, rockets, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles.
The leadership of Russia denies that the Russian army during a full-scale war inflicts targeted strikes on the civilian infrastructure of the cities and villages of Ukraine, killing the civilian population and destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, energy and water supply facilities.
The Ukrainian authorities and international organizations qualify these strikes as war crimes of the Russian Federation and emphasize that they are purposeful in nature.
