Details: During a press conference with Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof, Zelenskyy said that "Russia will do everything to prevent us from extracting our gas. They will do everything. It will be difficult to protect all of this."

"The task at hand is to have money for imports at the same time so that people have gas. And we understand how much money is involved. And we believe that we will be ready for this," Zelenskyy said.

He stressed that Ukraine will be ready for all energy challenges, and work on this is ongoing. "We must be prepared for everything and look at things soberly," Zelenskyy said.

• On the night of 4-5 October, Russia once again conducted a large-scale combined attack on Ukraine's gas infrastructure.
• The Naftogaz group wants to open additional credit lines in case of the need for urgent imports due to attacks by the Russian Federation.
