"Gazprom" cut off gas from Russia through "Sohranovka", residents of Donbas left without gas supply - Makogon

This morning, Russian Gazprom on the territory of Russia stopped the transportation of gas from Russia to the connection point "Sohranovka", about the impossibility of transit through which Ukraine claimed, and residents of Donbas left without Ukrainian gas supply, said General Director of the Operator of the Ukrainian Gas Transmission System Serhiy Makohon.

 

"This morning, Gazprom on the territory of Russia stopped transportation from Russia to the point "Sohranovka". In addition, in the occupied territories of Ukraine unauthorized taps of the main gas pipeline "Shebelinka - Novopskov", through which gas was transported to the gas pipelines of Luhansk and Donetsk regions, were blocked. In fact, representatives of the aggressor deprived Ukraine of the possibility of transporting gas to consumers in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions," Makogon noted on Facebook.

 

The chairman of the UGTSU stressed that the Russian authorities bear full responsibility for the humanitarian consequences of such actions.

 

Ukraine warned about its intention to stop the transit of gas through the Sohranivka route due to military actions.

 

The UGTSU said that "due to interference of the occupation forces in technological processes" it is no longer possible to operate the compressor station in Novopskove, Luhansk Region, so starting from 11 May, the gas flow through the Sohranivka route is stopped and redirected through the station in Suja.

 

At the same time, Russia's Gazprom says that such a switch is "technologically impossible. Neftegaz denies this.

 

According to UGTSU, almost one third of all gas supplied from Russia is transited through Sohranivka to Europe.

 

Meanwhile, the volume of Russian gas supplied in transit to Europe via Ukraine through the Sohranivka key point has decreased to zero, according to data reportedly from the Ukrainian operator of the UGTSU as of Wednesday, May 11.

 

"Gazprom said it has reduced the amount of gas to be pumped by the Ukrainian gas transmission system. On Wednesday, May 11, Gazprom spokesman Sergey Kupriyanov confirmed that Gazprom is supplying less Russian gas for transit through Ukraine to Europe on that day - namely 72 million cubic meters, DW reported.

 

OGTSU cited similar data, having accepted Gazprom's request to transport 72 million cubic meters of gas through its territory only through the Sudzha gas metering station on Wednesday. As recently as Tuesday, Gazprom's request for transit through the Ukrainian GTS was 95.8 million cubic meters, Reuters notes. At that time, Russian gas was also pumped through the Sohranovka gas metering station.

 

According to reports, the partial stoppage of Russian gas transit through the Ukrainian GTS led to a sharp jump in gas prices in Europe. For example, benchmark European gas prices rose by 6.8% at the market opening, while in the UK they rose by 9%.
