Russia carried out its largest attack on Ukraine’s gas network since the 2022 invasion. Kyiv’s Naftogaz reported 35 missiles and 381 drones targeted facilities in eastern Kharkiv and central Poltava, including the main gas production hubs. Private energy providers suspended operations, while Ukraine rushed to stockpile gas, planning 13.2 billion cubic meters by mid-October, including 4.6 billion cubic meters of imports. Attacks have already caused prolonged blackouts, with drones temporarily disabling the Chornobyl nuclear plant. In response, the United States will provide Ukraine with intelligence on long-range energy targets inside Russia, asking NATO allies for similar support, marking a significant policy shift under President Trump.
