The attack by Ukrainian drones on the CPC infrastructure took place on February 17. It will be clarified that there were no casualties among the company's employees. The workers managed to prevent the threat of an oil spill.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on February 19 that a strike by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) would affect global energy markets. According to him, there are no Russian air defense systems at CPC facilities. As a result of the incident, Western equipment was damaged at the enterprise, which could not be quickly restored.
