According to Ukrinform, this was reported by the company’s press service.

"During the annual meeting of the heads of Ukraine’s foreign diplomatic missions, acting chairman of the board of Naftogaz Serhii Fedorenko said that since the beginning of 2026, Naftogaz Group facilities have been hit by 287 Russian attacks — more than during the entire year of 2025 and the first three years of the full-scale war combined. Despite unprecedented pressure, the company continues to produce gas, restore damaged facilities, and prepare for winter," the statement said.

During the event, Naftogaz Group handed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine a list of priority international projects, the implementation of which is critically important for preparations for the next heating season. The list includes projects to attract grant funding for the purchase of additional natural gas volumes, conclude contracts for the supply of backup equipment, obtain technical assistance for restoring damaged infrastructure, and diversify gas supply sources and routes.

According to Naftogaz, Russian attacks on gas production and the need to increase natural gas imports have significantly increased the need for international financial support. It is noted that grant funding remains the priority.

In addition, Naftogaz presented diplomats with opportunities for international cooperation. These include the use of Ukrainian underground gas storage facilities, expanding LNG supply routes, implementing joint investment projects in production, generation, and fuel infrastructure development, as well as exchanging experience in protecting energy facilities.

As previously reported, 37 filling station complexes of the Naftogaz Group network were destroyed as a result of Russian attacks in January–July 2026.

On July 19–21, Russians deliberately attacked Naftogaz Group gas production facilities in the Kharkiv region.
