Ukraine provides reps of 31 countries with comprehensive materials on consequences of Russia's attack on Druzhba oil pipeline – Naftogaz head

Naftogaz Ukraine and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a special briefing for representatives of foreign diplomatic missions from nearly 40 countries regarding the consequences of Russia’s attacks on the Druzhba oil pipeline, said Naftogaz Chairman of the Board Serhiy Koretsky.

"We presented comprehensive materials on the nature of the attack and its consequences, including photos and video footage from the scene. We also briefed the diplomats in detail on the challenges our colleagues are facing," Koretsky wrote on Facebook on Saturday.

He emphasized that restoring such infrastructure is a complex technological process that requires time, specialized equipment, and work under the constant threat of repeated Russian strikes.

According to him, representatives from 31 countries, including the G7 countries and Ukraine’s European partners, took part in the briefing.

Koretsky added that since the start of the full-scale invasion, Russia has carried out more than 400 attacks on Naftogaz Group facilities, and in 2026 alone, more than 30 attacks have already been recorded.

"The Naftogaz Group, together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, continues to inform international partners about the consequences of Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and the progress of restoration work," the group’s director noted.

He expressed gratitude to Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha and Deputy Minister Evhen Perebyinis for co-organising this meeting, as well as to representatives of all states who took part in the event.

As far as Energoreform has learned, representatives from Hungary and Slovakia took part in the event; these countries categorically insist on the resumption of the pipeline’s operation.

As reported, a targeted Russian attack on January 27 caused significant damage to the technological and auxiliary equipment of the Druzhba oil pipeline. Following this, Ukraine halted energy transportation through the pipeline.
