On Sunday, the Ukrainian military said it hit two large Russian landing ships and military infrastructure in attacks on the annexed Crimean peninsula. On the same day, Ukraine’s state-run Naftogaz energy firm announced its underground gas storages had been hit in the recent wave of Russian missile strikes on power facilities.
“The defense forces of Ukraine successfully hit the Azov and Yamal large landing ships, a communications center, and also several infrastructure facilities of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in temporarily occupied Crimea,” Ukraine’s military said in a statement.
The statement did not say how it hit the targets, but Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Russian-installed governor of Sevastopol, reported a major Ukrainian air attack. However, all he said was that air defenses had shot down more than 10 missiles over the Crimean port of Sevastopol. He also claimed one elderly civilian was killed and that pieces of the missiles damaged some civilian transport infrastructure.
The energy ministry and distributors said Ukraine ramped up imports of electricity and halted exports on Sunday after the recent series of Russian attacks, in which top energy producer DTEK lost 50% of its capacity.
“Losses [from Friday’s attack] have already been assessed and the DTEK group has lost 50% of its generating capacity, we can say this information officially,” the head of distribution firm Yasno, Serhiy Kovalenko, said on national television.
Russia attacked Ukrainian generating and transmission facilities on Friday, causing significant blackouts in many regions, and energy facilities in three Ukrainian regions were also attacked on Sunday morning.
But Naftogaz, Ukraine’s state-owned energy provider, said it was keeping up with customer demand.
The energy ministry said that on Sunday Russia had attempted to hit a critical energy infrastructure facility in the Lviv region in western Ukraine, including underground storage facilities.
“There are no critical consequences for the operation of the [underground] storage facilities, as the gas is at a considerable depth. The damaged part of the ground infrastructure will need to be restored, but we have sufficient backup capacities,” he said.
Most of Ukraine’s gas storage capacity is in the western part of the country and it is able to store around 30 billion cubic meters of gas.
