More Patriot is required: RF attacks on Ukraine's energy objects are guaranteed - Bloomberg

According to Oleksiy Chernyshov, Naftogaz Head, new Russian missile attacks can interrupt the flow of gas pipelines into the EU countries, as well as to Ukraine itself. The attacks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on Ukraine's energy infrastructure are practically guaranteed. This is what Naftogaz head Alexei Chernyshov, who is trying to prove in Washington that his country needs more air defense systems, writes Bloomberg.

According to him, Russian invaders are preparing for the offensive on the eve of winter. "Much will depend on how the infrastructure will be attacked. We try to do everything possible to do energy and heat supply stable, protecting some physical assets by physical means," he said. However, Chernyshov noted that such remedies cannot guarantee a 100 % level of protection.

The newspaper writes that during a three-day trip to the United States, Chernyshov met with representatives of Presidential Administration Joe Baiden and Congress members to lobby for Ukraine's aging defense due to the additional Patriot and F-16 fighters. "You are unlikely to be able to protect the asset from the attack by ballistic missiles. That is why it is extremely important for Ukraine to increase our capabilities in air defense. We definitely need more patriots," he said.

Chernyshov also noted that new Russian missile attacks can interrupt the flow of gas pipelines into the EU countries, as well as to Ukraine itself. Naftogaz is now working to ensure that Ukraine has 14. 7 billion cubic meters of gas in Ukraine's underground storage facilities. We will remind that in "Naftogaz" told how to take $ 5 billion in the Russian Federation. Chernyshov said that a large process of renewing justice that would reach the whole world will begin soon.
