State of emergency declared as Ukraine launches raid into Russia

…

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.

The acting regional governor, Alexei Smirnov

Come on. That’s a made up name.

The Governor of Texas isn’t “John Hamburger”.

WhatYouNeed ,

The governor of Texas is “Chuck U Farley”.

Did you think the alcohol wasnt named after a human? Are u high or somethin?

Als Hamburg is a real city. Its totally normal for things to be named after people and cities.

Whoosh

Earlier, President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of launching a “major provocation”

How dare they provoke the people who have been relentlessly attacking their country for two and a half years.

Fucking Russian psychos use the majority of their missiles on civilian targets and now suddenly Putin has a problem with (alleged! I frankly don’t believe it for one second) “indiscriminate shooting from various types of weapons, including missiles, at civilian buildings, residential buildings, and ambulances.”

Slotos ,

Ten and a half. And that’s only if we discount Tuzla island dispute and continuous attempts to take control of politics and economy.

Euromaiden was in 2013 somehow. How has it been that long

ArbitraryValue ,

Why would they want to control the gas facility?

givesomefucks ,

It is the only point of entry for Russian gas into the EU.

ArbitraryValue ,

But that gas goes through Ukraine. They could have stopped it at any time.

Wogi ,

Yeah then you just remove the beak

jonne ,

But Ukraine was making a ton of money transporting Russian gas over their territory (before the war). Presumably they want the war to end with some kind of agreement that restores this deal, no?

vxx ,

Sure, if the agreement is that Ukraine gets gas for free for the next 100 years as part of reperations russia has to pay.

givesomefucks ,

?

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.

ArbitraryValue ,

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

IphtashuFitz ,

Sabotage all the metering, etc. and let Ukraine and EU receive as much as they can for free.

Quill7513 ,

Sabotaging a gas line does a lot to damage your own position because natural gas is VERY toxic. Controlling the source though is ALL power

jonne ,

There’s shutoff valves, they don’t need to blow it up. That’s why the story about Russia supposedly blowing up nordstream never made sense either.

Bookmeat ,

It makes sense if the idea is that they want to force EU to use (fund) the new pipelines elsewhere.

grozzle ,

They would be liable to be sued for massive amounts for breach of contract of they just shut it off normally. The pipe destruction got them off that hook.

(i’m personally not 100% sure who did it, but there were realistic reasons for Russia to do it)

jonne ,

Sued in which court, which would enforce it how exactly? Russia is already doing a whole invasion in breach of international law, (Putin is a defendant personally for war crimes) and the West has basically already sanctioned all assets within its reach.

MrNesser ,

If they cut it off they remove the one entry point of gas into the EU crippling the export.

Im sure the EU wouldnt be very happy either but they diversified over the last 2 years away from russian gas.

On the other hand holding it also opens the door for concessions from Russia.

Skua ,

Most of the EU is fine with it, it's basically just the governments of Hungary and Slovakia throwing a hissy fit

TransplantedSconie ,

Fucking Wah Wah.

Those countries had a chance to be on the right side of history, and they screwed the pooch. Enjoy freezing in a couple of months.
