Russian troops are systematically destroying the network of gas stations in Ukraine
Since June 17, Russian occupation forces have been carrying out daily targeted attacks on a network of gas stations in Ukraine.
In the past 24 hours alone, on the night of July 1, the enemy struck five gas stations in the Dnipropetrovsk region, killing one civilian woman, and also attacked a gas station in the Chernihiv region.
According to the publication “Agency,” over the past two weeks, a series of Russian strikes has affected a total of six regions of Ukraine, including the Sumy, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv regions.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has repeatedly reported on such actions, claiming that the purpose of these strikes is allegedly to “disrupt the logistics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.”
Pro-Russian sources, notably the Telegram channel “Ribar,” note that the intensity of attacks on fuel infrastructure facilities began to increase as early as this spring.
The channel’s authors openly acknowledge that “the campaign of strikes against gas stations is already in full swing, gradually gaining momentum,” viewing this as an attempt to provoke an acute fuel crisis in major frontline cities of Ukraine.
Ukrainian experts categorically reject the enemy’s claims linking civilian gas stations to military supply operations.
Serhiy Beskrestnov, an advisor to the Ukrainian Minister of Defense, emphasizes that civilian gas stations are not involved in supplying fuel for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Russia attacked the Zaporizhzhia region more than 900 times in one day
