PM Koretskyi Convenes Emergency Meeting Over Intensifying Russian Attacks On Gas Stations
“The enemy has significantly intensified its attacks on gas stations. In recent days, there have been attacks on gas stations in the capital and along international highways. The top priority is to ensure the maximum safety of staff and customers and to guarantee the systematic and safe distribution of petroleum products from gas stations,” Koretskyi noted.
At a meeting attended by market operators, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Infrastructure, the National Security and Defense Council, the State Emergency Service, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, participants discussed strengthening security measures at gas stations, progress in installing additional protective structures for ground infrastructure elements, and the construction of shelters.
“We are already testing a software solution that will allow us to track the movement of drones and respond to threats in advance. This involves automatic and prompt alerts at gas stations regarding the approach of enemy drones. We will test this at gas station complexes-and simultaneously involve other businesses. The ministers have been tasked with accelerating this process as much as possible,” Koretskyi emphasized.
The meeting also analyzed the balance of petroleum products, logistics, and the pricing situation. According to the prime minister, due to events in the Middle East and disruptions in supply chains, global oil prices are once again rising rapidly. It is clear that market players in Ukraine are responding accordingly.
