"Naftogaz Group is ready to start operating the Boyko oil rigs that Ukraine has returned to its control, says Naftogaz Group's CEO Oleksiy Chernyshov.

According to him, the Group is ready to start operating the equipment as intended as soon as the security situation allows.

Ukrainian intelligence has recently reported that it has managed to regain control of gas and oil drilling platforms off the coast of occupied Crimea in the Black Sea.

The unique operation was carried out by the Petro Hodovalets and Ukraina units of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, as well as the Tavriya and Syvash special purpose battalions.

Russia occupied these towers in 2015, and with the beginning of the full-scale invasion, it used them for military purposes. In particular, as helicopter landing sites and for the deployment of radar equipment.
