In the summer, the situation worsened: in June and July, according to Koretsky, "oil refining was completely destroyed. " Despite the fact that some of the objects have been restored, the threat of new massive attacks before the heating season remains. "This is a pure terrorism," said Naftogaz head. He added that such actions of Moscow are a response to the decision of Ukraine to stop the transit of Russian gas from January 1.
Ukraine will be forced to import about 6 billion m³ of gas from abroad, which is a record volume in the history of the country, said the Chairman of the Board of Naftogaz of Ukraine. Naftogaz paid $ 1 billion from its own expense to finance Naftogaz, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Government of Norway and other institutions provided $ 1. 5 billion in external funding.
They will be enough if winter is soft, but if the temperature falls significantly, you will have to raise additional funds. Recall that Ukraine has come to the beginning of the heating season with gas reserves that cover most of the country's needs in winter. According to estimates of representatives of the energy industry, 11 to 12 billion cubic meters of fuel have been accumulated in underground storage facilities, which is 80-90% of the government plan of 13. 2 billion cubic meters.
