Ukraine's energy minister Svitlana Hrynchuk said on Tuesday that the country wants to increase its imports of natural gas by 30% after Russian airstrikes on its gas infrastructure.
Hrynchuk told reporters at a briefing in Kyiv that she had discussed additional gas imports with G7 countries.
The minister said that airstrikes had caused 'significant' damage to Ukraine's gas production capacity, while declining to give specific details.
Hrynchuk said the attacks targeted regional gas infrastructure, as well as power transmission facilities in Ukraine's frontline regions.
She added that the country was considering increasing LNG imports.
Russia has been regularly bombing Ukraine's energy infrastructure since its 2022 invasion.
