“And although, according to the head of Naftogaz, Alexey Chernyshev, the facilities continue to work, this is the fourth Russian attack on Ukrainian gas storage facilities. Such attacks are shows the potential risk of gas storage in the country if European reserves are overfilled this summer,” writes Bloomberg.

The publication notes that Ukraine has more gas storage capacity than any other European country, and it is actively attracting traders to store reserves in its storage facilities.

“Yes, European gas futures rose by 9.5% – this is the highest price level in the last three weeks,” experts pointed out.

Ukraine is now inviting foreign traders to reserve up to 10 billion cubic meters of gas in its storage facilities this year.

“The amount of potential reserves of raw materials is about a third of the country’s total capacity and is at the level of last year,” Bloomberg pointed out.

This was not the first attack by the Russians. On March 24, they also destroyed Naftogaz facilities in western Ukraine.

We remind you that on the night of April 11, the Russians launched a massive air strike on Ukraine using various types of missiles and kamikaze drones – a total of 82 units. Air defense forces destroyed 57 aerial targets.

Later it became known that the enemy attacked energy infrastructure facilities in four regions of Ukraine – in Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Lviv and Kyiv regions.
