Since the start of 2026, Russian attacks have damaged
16 gas stations in Kyiv, but city authorities do not expect a fuel
shortage, acting head of the Kyiv City Military Administration Andrii Tkachov
said on Sept. 15.
“First and foremost, our citizens must follow safety
precautions and stay in shelters. Gas stations must close during air raid
alerts, and all customers and employees must evacuate to the nearest shelter,”
Tkachov said.
He said Russia had deliberately targeted gas stations in the
capital. The Kyiv City Military Administration said Kyiv’s fuel market remained
stable.
Russia attacked Kyiv with jet-powered drones overnight into
Sept. 15, and the attack continued into the morning. Russian drones struck two
gas stations in the Darnytskyi and Holosiivskyi districts, warehouses in the
Obolonskyi district and nonresidential buildings in the Solomianskyi district.
The latest attack on two Kyiv gas stations severely damaged
the stations’ buildings and equipment, and Russia struck one of them again,
Ukrnafta said. Ukrnafta CEO Bohdan Kukura confirmed that
Russian jet-powered drones struck two of the company’s gas station complexes on
Sept. 15, one on Kyiv’s right bank and the other on the left bank.
He called the attack “another deliberate strike on civilian
facilities that provide people with fuel and essential goods.”
“Such attacks serve no military purpose. This is terror
against civilians. Ukrnafta will restore the damaged facilities and continue
serving its customers,” he said.
On Sept. 10, a Russian drone struck a Ukrnafta gas station
in Kyiv’s Holosiivskyi district, sparking a fire. Four people were injured.
On Sept. 11, Russian drones struck Ukrnafta gas stations in
two Kyiv districts.
