Russia attacks gas facilities of Ukraine: whether there will be large -scale interruptions in gas supply

  Mikhail Gonchar, the President of the Center of Globalism, said this in an interview with focus. "A certain scale of priorities is selected: where to strike in the first place. Obviously, priorities are military goals and enterprises and logistics centers of the defense-industrial complex. From the autumn of 2022, with a pause in 2023, among the priorities for the Russian Federation, the punches of the united effect of the united effect. - The collapse of the power system - did not take place.

In his opinion, Russia aims to deprive Ukrainians of stable gas supply. But by hitting several rockets or drones, the expert said, this task is not solved. "Initially, the priority was compressor stations in the western region, where our main underground gas repositories (PGS) were concentrated. The partial effect was obtained, because the very fact of blows caused the refusal of European traders to use PGS to store its gas. It was one of the goals of such attacks.

Whether the drones are not solved, "the expert notes.   According to him, Ukrainians are not immune to the fact that blows to gas sites will continue, especially since the main gas production areas of Kharkiv and Poltava region are near the front line. "It is necessary to solve the issue of engineering protection of critically important gas infrastructure, as the UEC" Ukrenergo "operator does for substations. Additional air defense means are required.

In my opinion, even with targeted shelling, the gas sector will retain functionality, consumers will receive a resource," Mikhail Gonchar said. We will remind, on April 28 the Cherkasy region survived one of the largest attacks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which resulted in thousands of consumers left without gas supply.
