The operator of the gas transmission system of Ukraine reported that the Sohranivka station and the Novopskov border compressor station ended up in the occupied territories and gas transit through them is now impossible. The occupiers interfere in technological processes and carry out unauthorized gas extraction. The message was published on the official website Transmission System Operator of Ukraine (OGTSU) . The OGTSU noted that Novopskov is the first of the compressor stations of the Ukrainian GTS in the Luhansk region, through which almost a third of the gas (up to 32.6 million m³ per day) is transited from Russia to Europe. The company emphasized that it cannot control assets located in the occupied territories. “Moreover, the interference of the occupying forces in technological processes, changes in the operating modes of GTS facilities, including unauthorized gas withdrawals from the transit flow, jeopardized the stability and security of the entire Ukrainian gas transportation system,” the message stressed.
