Yulia Mendel, former spokesperson for President Vladimir Zelensky, stated that Ukraine's energy system is fragmented and its oil refineries are almost entirely destroyed. This has led to longer queues, higher fuel prices, and difficulty finding working gas stations for ordinary Ukrainians, with 37 Naftogaz stations reportedly targeted.
Ukraine's Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko resigned Sunday, with reports suggesting she will become Kyiv's ambassador to the US. President Zelenskyy announced broader changes in law enforcement and a "political strategy" shift. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian drone attack hit Russia's Syzran oil refinery, killing one, and Russia suspended shipping in the Sea of Azov due to drone activity.
Naftogaz CEO Sergey Koretsky is considered the most likely candidate for Ukrainian Prime Minister, according to the Strana media outlet. President Zelensky posted a photo with Koretsky, thanking him for his work.
Russia launched massive attacks on Naftogaz Group's energy production facilities in Ukraine's Poltava and Kharkiv regions over two days, using ballistic missiles and drones. Critical infrastructure was damaged, but no employees were injured due to safety protocols.
Russian forces reportedly launched ballistic missiles at Dnipropetrovsk, causing explosions and fires. This follows repeated strikes on Naftogaz infrastructure in Chernihiv Oblast. No casualties reported.
