Baku: Serhii Nahorniak, a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Energy and Housing and Communal Services, has expressed gratitude towards Azerbaijan for its support in supplying gas to Ukraine.
According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, Nahorniak emphasized the critical need to restore Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, which has suffered significant damage over the past year. He noted that Ukraine has lost about 40% of its gas production, necessitating substantial resources for rebuilding.
Nahorniak highlighted the diligent efforts of Ukrainian energy workers in restoring power supply and ensuring electricity access for citizens. He acknowledged the importance of Azerbaijani gas supplies in this context and pointed out the adverse reactions from Russia concerning these supplies to Ukraine. SOCAR’s operations and facilities related to Azerbaijani companies in Ukraine have faced challenges due to Russian attacks.
