From there, it will be transported through Lithuania and Poland before reaching Ukraine via the Drozdovychi interconnector, where Naftogaz will receive it.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Soszynski, vice president of Polish Orlen, described the cooperation agreement as &#8220;mutually beneficial.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our relationship will be based on commercial terms, but securing an additional gas source is also crucial for Ukraine\u2019s security,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>On Feb. 11, Russia <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/ukraine-imposes-power-outages-after-russian-attack-on-energy-system-gas-infrastructure\/\">launched a combined missile and drone attack<\/a> on Ukraine, primarily targeting Poltava Oblast and damaging Naftogaz production facilities in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Before the full-scale invasion, <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/ukraine-loses-up-to-40-of-gas-production-due-to-russian-attacks-reuters-reports\/\">Ukraine produced<\/a> 52 million cubic meters (mcm) of gas per day but required 110-140 million mcm in winter, covering the shortfall from storage. Russian attacks have since reduced Ukraine\u2019s domestic gas output, increasing its reliance on foreign purchases.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/ukraine-to-boost-gas-imports-due-to-russian-attacks-on-energy-infrastructure-bloomberg-reports\/\">plans to import<\/a> about 3.5 billion cubic meters of gas for the upcoming heating season due to ongoing Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure, Bloomberg reported on March 4.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of 2025, Ukraine <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/eu-mulls-restarting-russian-gas-purchases-as-part-of-ukraine-peace-deal-ft-reports\/\">halted its agreement<\/a> with Russia to transport Russian gas to European customers via Ukrainian pipelines.
