Zelenskyy says Russia targeted gas facilities that secure EU supply

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy attends a news conference in Kyiv amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, on Aug 23, 2022. Russia continues to supply gas to the EU via Ukraine under a transit deal with Russia's Gazprom that is set to expire in December. Ukraine's energy minister said last month that Kyiv had no plans to extend or replace the arrangement with Moscow, which pays Ukraine to export its gas to the EU.

Zelenskyy, who is campaigning for supplies of defensive weapons systems from his international partners, said that Ukrainian forces had"managed to shoot down some" of the 34 Russian missiles of various types.Ukraine's state-run oil and gas firm Naftogaz said Russia had attacked its facilities but that no-one was hurt and supplies to Ukrainian consumers and clients were unaffected.

Zelenskyy repeated his previous plea for defensive missiles, particularly Patriot systems, saying Ukraine needed at least seven defensive systems.
