It will be a hard winter for Ukraine.

Last weekend, a MASSIVE Russian drone and missile strike targeted Ukraine’s gas infrastructure in the northern Kharkiv and Poltava regions.

The dramatic result of the attack wiped out roughly 60% of the country’s domestic natural gas production.

So, now, Ukraine has become vulnerable ahead of winter, because the destroyed facilities provided for most household heating needs.

Bloomberg reported:

“Russian strikes have wiped out more than half of Ukraine’s domestic natural gas production, likely forcing the country to spend 1.9 billion euros ($2.2 billion) on fuel imports to survive the looming winter.”

Ukraine now has to import about 4.4 billion cubic meters until March’s — a figure equivalent to nearly 20% of its annual consumption.

Having already imported 4.58 billion cubic meters this year, Kiev is seeking urgent aid from G7 allies.

Watch: Karkhov goes dark:

“’Russia will do everything to prevent us from extracting our gas’, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told reporters in Kyiv on Monday. ‘They will do everything. It will be difficult to protect all this. The task is to have money to import gas so that people have gas’.”

The European Commission is ‘deeply concerned’ over the infrastructure damage, pledging close coordination.

“’The Commission is deeply concerned about the damage inflicted by Russia on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure’, said Anna Kaisa Itkonen, the commission’s spokesperson for energy. ‘We remain in close contact with Ukraine on the overall energy situation in the country’.”
