Russian attacks have destroyed 60% of Ukraine's natural gas storage capacity, forcing the state to purchase 4.4 billion cubic meters of external gas to cope with the winter.

The European Commission and other financial institutions are considering additional assistance for the Ukrainian energy sector.
