Ukraine Faces Energy Crisis Amid Russian Attacks on Infrastructure
Ukraine is experiencing a severe energy crisis as Russian missile and drone attacks target the country's energy grid, leading to frequent blackouts. The CEO of Naftogaz, Sergii Koretskyi, reported that the attacks have significantly damaged Ukraine's gas production infrastructure, necessitating $1 billion for vital gas imports and new equipment. The situation is exacerbated by inadequate air defenses, prompting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to appeal for more Western military aid. The attacks have left millions of Ukrainians in darkness and cold, with Naftogaz supplying gas to 12.5 million households, 80% of which rely on gas for heating.
