Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warns of the dangers to Europe as a result of Russian missile attacks on the gas transport system. He spoke about this with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, as he reported in his evening video message on Thursday.
Attacks on gas infrastructure in western Ukraine posed a danger to everyone in Europe, “not only to us, but also to our neighbors.” “We must act against this together,” Zelensky said (see video above).
In late March, the Russian Air Force fired cruise missiles and rockets at the above-ground facilities of a large underground gas storage facility. The gas company Naftogaz said damage had been caused. The exact location was not stated; Experts suspected it was the largest warehouse near the western Ukrainian city of Stryi.
Despite the war, attacked Ukraine will continue to send Russian gas to the EU until the end of 2024. It also uses the underground caverns to store its own natural gas and offers this as storage to neighboring EU countries.
Thanked Denmark for arms support
In the video message, Zelenskyj thanked the Danish government for an armament aid package worth 750 million euros. It mainly includes anti-aircraft and artillery ammunition, he said. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to struggle to stop Russia’s assault on its eastern border in the Kharkiv region.
The heaviest fighting took place in the cities of Lipzy and Vovchansk, the General Staff said in its situation report on Thursday evening. The Russian offensive is being supported by fighter jets dropping glide bombs, the report said.
