US EditionAs Russia pummels Ukraine’s energy systems, Kyiv hopes US gas will fill the gap
Naftogaz seeks U.S. loans to cover a $2 billion shortfall caused by Russian attacks that destroyed gas extraction capacity, forcing Ukraine to import 4.4 billion cubic meters this winter.
- Naftogaz is negotiating with U.S. government lenders to finance American LNG purchases after two attacks this year left Ukraine needing 4.4 billion cubic meters costing roughly $2 billion.
- Following major strikes in late October, Koretskyi said Russian forces targeted Ukraine's gas extraction facilities to hurt morale and force costly imports.
- At the damaged site, investigators found several missiles and drones caused a fire over 100 meters, shrapnel pierced pipes, and tanks lay empty in tangled wreckage nearly a month after the Oct. 30 attack.
- Naftogaz is importing 25-30 million cubic meters daily while stressing the urgency of additional gas imports and operational strains caused by Russian attacks.
- Before the strikes, Ukraine's domestic gas extraction produced roughly 21 billion cubic meters annually, and the attacks impose heavy costs on the Ukrainian economy that could continue next year.
