Russia attacked gas transmission system at night, through which gas from US and Azerbaijan was supplied to Ukraine

The aggressor country russia attacked the gas transmission system facility that ensures the supply of natural gas to Ukraine at night. This is stated in the message of the Ministry of Energy.

It is reported that the russians attacked the compressor station of the Gas Transmission System Operator of Ukraine in the Odesa Region near the Ukrainian-Romanian border with drones.

"This compressor station was used as part of the route that connects Greek LNG terminals with Ukrainian gas storage facilities via the Trans-Balkan gas pipeline, and along which LNG from the US and test volumes of Azerbaijani gas were already being supplied," the message says.

The Ministry of Energy emphasized that this attack was purely on civilian infrastructure, "targeted against the energy sector and at the same time against relations with Azerbaijan, the US and partners in Europe, against the normal life of Ukrainians and all Europeans."

Experts are working at the scene to assess the consequences of the attack.

"The massive Russian drone attack on a key compressor station on the Trans-Balkan route shows that Moscow will use all available means and levers to destroy the energy independence of Europeans and alternative gas supply routes. If the Russians are allowed to strike with impunity at our energy infrastructure and gas routes, no infrastructure facility in Europe will be safe. Impunity only spreads terror. That is why Russia must be held accountable for what it has done," said Energy Minister Svitlana Hrynchuk.

Recall, Zelenskyy said that the russians carried out a deliberate attack on Ukraine's preparation for the heating season at night.
