Quote: "More than 300 petrol stations have been hit or destroyed over the past six months. This is, of course, a significant loss for our economy."

Details: Shmyhal said petrol stations have effectively become critical infrastructure facilities because they provide fuel to the population and the economy.

The government is also discussing with the Finance Ministry and businesses a mechanism to insure petrol stations against war-related risks and the possibility of establishing a dedicated fund.

Background:

• Shmyhal said that three of Ukraine's nine nuclear power units under Ukrainian control are undergoing repairs.
• Ukraine has repaired 4.8 GW of generating capacity and completed the construction of around 200 second-level protective structures.
