The Ukrainian gas measuring station 'Sudzha' suffered due to a fire

On the night of March 21, a fire broke out at the gas measuring station 'Sudzha', located on the border of the Kursk and Sumy regions. Information and footage of this incident have spread on social media.

The gas measuring station 'Sudzha' is an important element of the gas transportation system through which Russian gas is transited to Europe.

Russian public pages published photos of a large fire. Eyewitnesses claim that significant pillars of smoke were rising in the border area of the Kursk and Sumy regions.

So far, there is no official information regarding the cause of the fire.

As of January 1, 2025, the transportation of Russian gas through the territory of Ukraine will be halted. However, Ukraine continues to transit Russian oil in accordance with the European Energy Charter.

It was also reported that Ukrainian paratroopers destroyed a group of Russian special forces moving along the pipeline branch towards the 'Sudzha' station. The paratroopers blocked their exit from the tunnel and destroyed about 80% of the group. It seems they had information about the enemy's plans and used it to their advantage.
