“The amount includes the principal debt for gas transit services under the 2019 agreement, as well as delay interest and full compensation for legal expenses incurred by Naftogaz”, Naftogaz said in an online statement. The state-owned integrated oil and gas company said it had won the award June 10.
“Risks peaked in February, when large-scale Russian missile attacks on gas production facilities led to the sudden loss of nearly half of the state’s output. These events created a perfect storm that could have caused a nationwide gas blackout at any moment”, according to a company report Monday that said 34 of Naftogaz’s gas production sites had been attacked in 2024-25. Rigzone tried to verify the scale of the reported attacks via comment requests to the Russian government, sent via official online portals, but has not received a reply.
“Naftogaz Group not only maintains stability but also continues to demonstrate growth in gas production”, Naftogaz acting chair Roman Chumak said in an online statement. “Each day, our team demonstrates resilience and adaptability, driving progress even under the toughest conditions”.
