According to
RIA Novosti report, Kyiv may consider cutting off gas supplies to eastern
Ukrainian regions.
As a matter of fact, Gazprom
can supply gas directly to the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. The
Stavropol-Moscow and Krasnodar-Serpukhov pipelines cross the Ukrainian border in
the area that is out of reach of Kyiv authorities now (Prokhorovka
gas metering station). Gas flow can be diverted to the Sokhranovka-Oktyabrskaya
pipeline. In winter time, it can also be originated from the huge storage
facility in the Stavropol region of Russia.
Small volumes
can be shipped through the gas metering stations of Parkhomenko,
Izvarino and Platovo (see the
clickable map above or the Naftogaz
map). The Stavropol-Moscow and Krasnodar-Serpukhov pipelines
sections may require some maintenance work that should be done as
soon as possible.
