Naftogaz prepares 24 winter scenarios factoring in Russian attacks and weather conditions

Naftogaz has modelled 24 scenarios for the coming winter heating season, factoring in the intensity of Russian attacks, weather conditions, and domestic gas production. A response plan has been developed for each scenario.

“We need to step up cooperation with international partners in three key areas: restoring damaged infrastructure, strengthening the protection of energy facilities, and putting in place the financial instruments needed to secure additional gas volumes in advance for the winter months,” said Sergii Fedorenko, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Naftogaz, following an online briefing with Ukrainian ambassadors attended by Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.



Norway is one example of this cooperation, having provided Naftogaz with grant funding to purchase additional gas.

With the support of Ukraine’s diplomatic corps, Naftogaz Group continues to work with international partners to secure funding for infrastructure protection and restoration, as well as gas purchases.

Since the beginning of 2026, Naftogaz Group facilities have come under Russian attack more than 400 times — twice as many as in all of 2025. Gas production infrastructure remains the main target. Around 100 Ukrnafta filling stations have also been damaged, representing over 10% of its retail network.
