Stakes Get Higher: Russian Missiles Destroy Ukrainian Gas Infrastructure

Illustrative Image

On the night of February 20th, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched another devastating wave of strikes on Ukrainian rear infrastructure. The massive attack targeted Ukrainian gas production and processing facilities, energy infrastructure and military targets all around the country.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation officially confirmed the strikes. This was a combined attack with air-, sea- and land-based missiles, as well as kamikaze drones of various types. According to the Russian military, the goal of the attack has been achieved.

The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that in total 14 Russian missiles and 161 UAVs targeted Ukraine during the night. Ukrainian air defense allegedly shot down 80 Russian UAVs, 78 more drones were reportedly “locally lost” and missed their targets. The Ukrainian military did not report the interception of a single Russian missile, which confirms reports on the depletion of its air defense systems.

The Ukrainian side confirmed damage across the country. The Ukrainian military reported Russian strikes in the Kharkiv, Sumy, Odessa and Kiev regions. Ukrainian officials confirmed heavy damage to the gas infrastructure in the country, revealing no details about the exact facilities targeted by Russian strikes. According to the Energy Minister, gas production facilities were mainly affected.

Iskander strikes eliminated Ukrainian military equipment and personnel near the village of Baranovka in the Sumy region:

 

 

One of the targets of the night strikes was the Shebelinkagazdobycha gas station located in the village of Mirne in the Kharkiv region. This is one of the largest gas production stations in Ukraine, which produced, processed and supplied gas to the main pipelines in the eastern and central regions. The station was struck by Russian Kalibr and Kh-101/555 missiles. As a result of the attack, the compressor shop No. 1 was completely destroyed, compressors critical for pumping gas were put out of order, gas purification systems, automatic gas supply and control stations, were destroyed.

Russian Iskander and Kalibr missiles also struck another gas compressing station in the village of Glazunovka in the same Kharkiv region. It was providing the gas supply to the western Ukrainian regions, including the large gas depots located there. As a result of the gas leak, a large fire broke out and critically damaged the local equipment. Russian strikes destroyed the turbocharger unit and the power supply system.

Russian strikes were also recorded in the towns of Zolotonosha, Chuguev, Krasnograd in the Kharkiv region.

 

 

Together with strategic Ukrainian gas infrastructure, Ukraine suffered heavy damage as a result of the massive strikes of Russian drones in Odessa launched for the second night in a row. The local authorities confirmed interruption of energy supplies in the city. Large fires broke out in the city, including in the port. Local reports revealed that the BG-200 Balaklava marine guard boat, which patrolled coastal waters and escorted vessels, including with military cargo, was damaged.

The locals reported a series of large explosions in the capital Kiev and on its outskirts. More Russian strikes were recorded in Zaporozhie and Kherson, where Ukrainian military points were destroyed.

western conglomerates are going to have to pump at least a trillion to rebuild ukraine before they can start plundering its natural resources. putin has strategically and economically defeated the collective west. providence is collectively punishing them for what they’ve done in gaza.

you’re not informed here. otherwise you would know that they have stolen at least 3 trillion from american taxpayers so they will get everything free .

Che Messi

i don’t feel bad for my imbicile american paisanos who actually pay taxes to support the 1% percenters. as they they say: fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Allegedly

you’re just fooled full stop. because you’re naive and gullible and think you’re not.

Allegedly

if you weren’t basically sloppy and lazy and expecting to have information, knowledge handed over readily by some fantasy good fairy who distributes power willy nilly to all and sundry for free, then you could claim some credibility as a realist.

Allegedly

everything’s a trick, as if magic from the circus of the circle set. they deceive by ommision. people think they’re doing well because they’ve lots of zeroes on their bank balances, or they think because they hold massive debts, that they’re wealthy. no. gran stayed at home pop went to work they had a half acre allotment and a solid brick and tile undercover garage and car

Allegedly

those houses were almost soundproof even the window panes were three or four times thicker glass than now and the bricks were solid double brick walls and the doors were solid timber. . gran cooked gardened raised chickens bred dogs grew fruit and veg watched movies knitted sewed shopped swam played tennis had friends over for cups of tea and home made cakes

Allegedly

they are portrayed as oppressed down trodden paupers their kids weren’t in day care at 3 months old. they didnt both have to work to own 250 sq metres and a crappy built mock brick and useless tile roofed dwelling with access for their two company owned cars etc etc etc

Allegedly

now, effectively the elite get mum and dad’s labour for half the price in real terms, real, not inflated fiction income of zeroes added by degrees to deceive, so it’s they who benefit now mum can’t afford to be a mum unless she’s wealthy or her partner is a high earner. it’s a, luxury to be a housewife now for only the rich to have that privilege. that’s reality

as if you don’t pay taxes either directly or indirectly you fool. grow up.

surely targets are prioritized by the high command and military ones have priority. still it’s hard for me to understand why after 3 (three) years of war those gas compressing stations were still in one piece after all the power stations being struck all along the course of the operations. maybe i just don’t see the big picture of things

foreign neonazi levan parkaia from georgia has been demilitarized in kursk oblast. now he works as fertilizer, improving the russian agriculture. next year harvest will produce -also thanks to him – good wheat, well, not very good, but enough to produce some khachapuri here and there. rest in pieces motherf*ker

all the tit for tat over oligarch property is real nonsensical. those missiles could have been better spent on the ukrop troop concentrations threatening russian civilians.
