The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, together with the Naftogaz Group, held a briefing for representatives of foreign diplomatic missions on the consequences of Russian attacks on the Druzhba oil pipeline infrastructure.

Representatives of 31 countries took part in the event, including the G7 members and Ukraine`s European partners of Ukraine. The participants included ambassadors and representatives of diplomatic missions accredited in Ukraine.

The participants were addressed by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Yevhen Perebyinis and Chairman of the Board of Naftogaz of Ukraine Serhii Koretskyi.

“We want our international partners to have a full understanding of the consequences of Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Just today we all witnessed another massive missile and drone attack on many regions of Ukraine and the city of Kyiv. Despite this, Ukraine remains a reliable partner in ensuring Europe’s energy security. That is why we initiated today’s meeting to present the real situation regarding the restoration of operations of the Druzhba oil pipeline,” said Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Yevhen Perebyinis.

During the briefing, Naftogaz Group specialists presented diplomats with technical information on the condition of the infrastructure following the attack on the Druzhba oil pipeline. To provide embassies with the most comprehensive picture of the events, materials from the site of the strike were demonstrated. They clearly show the technical damage caused by the attack, its impact on the operation of the system, as well as the measures required to restore the damaged facilities.

“Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has carried out more than 400 attacks on Naftogaz Group facilities. In 2026 alone, more than 30 attacks have already been recorded. In particular, the attack on 27 January on the infrastructure of the Druzhba oil pipeline caused significant damage. We have already provided partners with technical information regarding the consequences of this strike, and during this meeting we were able to present more detailed materials from the site and explain the challenges our specialists are facing. Restoring such infrastructure is a complex technological process that requires time, specialized equipment, and the continuous work of teams even under constant threat,” said Chairman of the Board of Naftogaz of Ukraine Serhii Koretskyi.

The Naftogaz Group, together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, continues to inform international partners about the consequences of Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and the ongoing efforts to restore damaged facilities.
