Due to the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine the Supervisory Board and the Board of Polohy Oil Extraction Plant, PJSC do not manage the production processes and property of the company, do not control the territory and property of the company, cannot ensure fire and technogenic safety of the company.
      The city of Polohy is fully occupied by the armed formations of the Russian Federation, permanent military operations are carried out on its territory, massive shelling of civil infrastructure facilities is carried out. At the time of the beginning of the armed aggression, there were raw materials, finished products and auxiliary materials in the production warehouses of Polohy Oil Extraction Plant. At first, the security and fire protection service of the Polohy Oil Extraction Plant was in charge of guarding and ensuring technogenic safety of the plant infrastructure facilities. At present armed representatives of military units of the Russian Federation openly robbed the property of the plant, threatening with physical violence and murder the security guards of the plant. A large number of vehicles, equipment, products and raw materials were seized at gunpoint. Later, on April 29, 2022 armed forces of Russian Federation completely occupied the territory of the factory and deployed personnel and military equipment there. The plant’s security guards and firefighters were forced to leave the territory of the plant at gunpoint. Later, the plant’s fire guards attempted several times to put out fires on the company's territory as a result of the shelling, but representatives of Russian Federation military units did not allow them to enter the plant’s territory.
      Despite the extremely difficult situation and the constant threat to life and health, the Board of Polohy Oil Extraction Plant is constantly organizing the provision of humanitarian aid to the residents of the city of Polohy.
      On May 16, 2022 the so-called Chairman of the Civil-Military Administration of Zaporizhzhya region from the side of the Russian Federation, the collaborator Balitsky illegally introduced the occupation administration for the management of the property of Pohovsky Oil Extraction Plant.

      We express our strong condemnation of the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and hold the Russian Federation armed formations and their illegal occupation administration fully responsible for the events taking place on the territory of the plant, for the damage and destruction of the company property, loss of control over the property and production facilities of the plant by the Supervisory Board and the Board, creation of the technogenic threat on the plant territory.
