As NBN reports with reference to the Facebook page of the former Chairman of the Board of the National Joint Stock Company Naftogaz Andriy Kobolev, with such attacks on the facilities of the said infrastructure, the terrorist state is seeking to resume the transit of “blue fuel” to the European Union bypassing Ukraine.

Based on Kobolev’s words, a month ago, in February, the so-called “gas blackout” was expected, and important steps were taken to avoid the crisis, which was helped by the import of “blue fuel” from Europe, as well as the arrival of warm weather conditions, allowing the worst period to be painlessly overcome.

However, the Russian Federation continues to shell Ukraine’s gas production facilities, concentrating strikes on the most vulnerable part of this system, which is the ground infrastructure designed to prepare “blue fuel” [for pumping and transportation outside/within the country].

In particular, the expert believes that Moscow needs an intensification of shelling to raise the issue of “Russian gas” and to include the issue on the agenda of peace negotiations, which the current US administration is pushing Kyiv towards.

Thus, Ukraine should prepare for various scenarios and develop appropriate strategies that can protect domestic interests and prevent, among other things, the launch of Nord Stream and the influx of funding into the Russian Federation.
