Background:

  • On the night of 5-6 August, Russia carried out a targeted strike on a compressor station of Ukraine’s Gas Transmission System Operator in Odesa Oblast, near the Ukrainian-Romanian border. 
  • The facility was part of a route linking Greek LNG terminals with Ukrainian gas storage via the Trans-Balkan pipeline, through which LNG from the United States and test volumes of Azerbaijani gas had already been transported.
  • On the night of 18-19 August, Russian occupation forces also attacked another production facility of Ukraine’s gas transmission system.
