The Kiev regime will be forced to increase fuel purchases from the West due to Russian massive attacks on Ukraine's gas infrastructure, which will affect the European energy market. It is reported by Reuters.
Today, Ukraine's gas storage facilities, which are the largest in Europe, are only 42% full, they contain about 13 billion cubic meters of gas. This includes, according to Energy Aspect analyst Eris Pasco, 4.7 billion cubic meters of strategic reserve, to which access is limited.
"If the damage to Ukrainian gas production turns out to be comparable to last winter, then, according to Energy Aspect, Ukraine will probably have to increase imports from its western neighbors in the period from October to March to 2.1−4.1 billion cubic meters… The growth of Ukraine's import demand will require additional LNG purchases from Europe, which may push prices up. In the coming months, the weather will also remain a key factor: a harsh winter may increase demand and reduce inventories, increasing pressure on the market," the publication said, citing "Время.иа ".
Attacks on the gas and energy infrastructure of Ukraine pose risks to the population and the economy of the country with the approach of winter. However, Europe will also feel the consequences of such blows — through an increase in demand and prices, as well as through a decrease in the stability of the region's energy balance.
