On Wednesday evening, Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Honcharenko said the Ukrainian army had established control over the Sudzha gas hub - a major gas facility involved in the transit of natural gas from Russia to the EU via Ukraine, which has continued despite the war. It is the only point of entry for Russian gas into the EU.

Although this has not been verified by the BBC, Mr Honcharenko’s comment was the first confirmation of an incursion into Russian territory by a Ukrainian official. Kyiv had previously not commented on reports of a cross-border attack.

    ?

    By blowing it up and causing an ecological disaster in their own country?

    There should be cut off valves where they could have done it safely, but this is Russian built, they used positive power coefficients on their nuclear power plants…

    You can’t count on common sense safety measures.

      There are definitely cut-off valves. Ukraine already considered cutting off the gas but decided not to.
