Russian TG channel: During a night attack, a blow was struck at the Bilche-Volitsko-Uhersky underground gas storage facility in the Lviv region of Ukraine
On the night from Thursday to Friday, the Russian Armed Forces launched a combined attack on energy facilities and air defense systems on the territory of Ukraine. The Ministry of Defense announced this today in its daily update, but did not provide any details. However, information on the strike has already begun to appear.
According to available data, during the attack on the Lviv region, the attack was carried out on the infrastructure of an underground gas storage facility near the city of Stryi. The target was the Bilche-Volitsko-Uhersky underground gas storage facility, which is not only the largest underground gas storage facility in Ukraine, but also in Europe, holding up to 17 billion cubic meters of gas. It was this UGS that Europe considered as a backup storage facility for its gas, since it is connected to the European gas system and there are no problems pumping gas into it and back.
- writes the TG channel “Donbass Partisan”.
It is noted that this is not the first blow to the gas infrastructure of Ukraine; on March 22, gas exchange point No. 3 and well No. 197, also near Stryi, Lviv region, were hit.
It is assumed that with such strikes Russia sends “hi” to Europe and communicates the seriousness of its intentions. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine has prohibited the publication of data on the condition of critical infrastructure facilities, Ukrainian resources report.
