Ukraine plans to increase gas imports due to Russian attacks on energy facilities in order to get through the fall and winter period.

This was stated by Ukrainian Energy Minister Svitlana Hrynchuk, according to Censor.NET, citing RBC-Ukraine.

However, she did not specify the expected increase in imports, noting that it could be one-third of the total volume that had been planned for import earlier.

"We plan to increase import capacity by another 30%," said Hrynchuk.

We would like to remind you that yesterday President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that he had set the task of securing funds to ensure gas imports.
