Gas prizes in Europe jump after an attack on a crossroads between Russia and Ukraine

The price of natural gas jumped in Europe after an attack aimed at a pumping station in the Russian Koursk region, which was part of an inactive pipeline that sent fuel to Europe until recently. Standard futures for gas rose 6.2% on Friday in the early trading. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Army directed the ‘Soda’ station in Ukraine, and confirmed that the ‘soft drink’ measurement station ‘was bombarded, but indicated that the Russian forces were those who targeted the facility, referring to previous incidents in which Russia soldiers were sent by a natural gas pipeline. GPA can reduce the resumption of Russian gas supplies, which is a possibility of descending after a 30 -day wilderness is not a first step in the direction of a peace agreement. The leaders of Russia and Ukraine indicated that they were prepared to agree to a ceasefire regarding energy infrastructure attacks, but this has not yet led to the strike of the attacks. The transport point is part of the pipeline that transported Russian gas until the beginning of this year. Some of the countries that previously relied on these streams hoped to appeal. Nasa’s satellite photos showed large scale fires covering the gas station and the surrounding areas, which were monitored between 6 and 12 hours ago. Tom Marzik Maner, an independent gas analyst, said: “Traders in the gas market who hope to resume Russian exports via this crossline to the end of the war are now interested in the extent of the damage to infrastructure, and most importantly, how to recover by Gazprom, said:” Traders in the gas market who hope to resume Russian exports. Gazprom, who previously controlled the transport point, did not respond immediately to request the remark. While the Ukrainian forces implemented an unexpected convergence in the Kursk region during August, the Russian forces moved quickly earlier this month to restore a large part of the country. The Ukrainian gas transport business declined to comment on the incident that occurred within the Russian area. Russian gas transition points over Ukraine, Russia, have used several borderline points in the past to export gas to Europe via Ukraine, but their number has shrunk to two points by 2022, after Moscow launched its comprehensive invasion. In May that year, the supplies stopped by the Socranevka point, after Ukraine announced its loss of control over the facility due to the presence of occupancy forces. Russian fuel flow stopped across Ukraine at the beginning of this year with the end of the transit agreement, which made the expensive liquid natural gas shipments that Europe is vulnerable to competition with other buyers. The continent has a difficult storage season, after the most ordinary withdrawal operations during the winter led to a decline in gas reserves to the lowest levels since 2022. The Dutch future contracts rose next month, which is the European standard for gas prices, by 2.7% to 43.99 euros per megawatt -hour in Amsterdam. The European gas market in the summer said Patricio Alvarez, chief analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, said the response of the market Friday indicates that “the market was taken into account, even partially, the resumption of some flow.” He added: “If there are no major changes in gas supplies due to geopolitical conditions, the European gas markets are expected to see an emphasis during the summer, as the region is trying to fill its supplies.”
