On the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, Russian troops attacked a gas infrastructure facility in the Odesa region, which provides a diversified route for the supply of natural gas to Ukraine, the Press Service of the Ministry of Energy announced, reports Ukrinform.

"On the night of August 6, 2025, Russia carried out a targeted attack on a gas infrastructure facility - a compressor station of the GTS operator of Ukraine in the Odesa region near the Ukrainian-Romanian border," the report states.

As noted by the Ministry, this compressor station is placed within the route that connects Greek LNG terminals with Ukrainian gas storages via the Trans-Balkan gas pipeline and along which LNG from the United States and trial quantities of Azerbaijani gas have already been delivered.

According to the Minister of Energy Svetlana Grinchuk, this is a clear signal for the whole of Europe, which plans to completely abandon Russian natural gas in 2027.

The Russian attack, the minister emphasized, indicates that the Russian Federation will use all available means and levers to destroy the energy independence of Europeans and alternative routes of gas supply.

Due to damage to the main gas pipeline, 2.5 thousand subscribers were temporarily disconnected.
