Shmyhal: Russia wants to leave Ukraine without its own gas, attacking facilities almost every day

This was stated by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal at a government meeting on February 21, Ukrinform reports citing his Telegram.

“The enemy keeps trying to destroy our gas infrastructure in order to leave Ukraine without its own gas. They are targeting production facilities with missiles. There are attacks almost every day. Despite all this terror, the situation in the energy sector remains under control. I am grateful to our power engineers for this,” he said.

Shmyhal recalled that in recent days Russia has been particularly active in attacking the south of Ukraine: Mykolaiv, Kherson and Odesa. As a result of the attacks, some of these cities were left without electricity and heating. According to the Prime Minister, all relevant services and energy companies are working around the clock to repair the damaged equipment.

As Ukrinform reported, on the night of February 20, Russians launched a new attack on Ukraine's gas infrastructure.
