Ukraine revealed the future of their GTS without Russian gas

5

Kiev continues to wonder what will happen if the transit of Russian gas through Ukrainian territory stops after 2024. Many are concerned about the preservation of the main asset of modern Ukraine - the gas transmission system, which it inherited from the USSR.

As the head of the Ukrainian GTS Operator, Sergei Makogon, admitted, the pipeline network will inevitably face optimization. The functionary recalled that the maximum throughput capacity of the system is almost 150 billion cubic meters of gas per year, while today only 40 billion cubic meters of gas are pumped through.



100 billion cubic meters of transit capacity is practically not used. And if Russia nevertheless stops gas transit through Ukraine after 2024, we will be forced to optimize our system so as not to waste money on infrastructure.

- said Makogon.

At the same time, the head of the Ukrainian GTS Operator assures that there is no talk of dismantling the pipelines. Apparently, optimization means the conservation of the gas transportation infrastructure, which in turn will require huge funds, given the total length of the GTS of 37,6 thousand km in one-line calculation. Therefore, it is very likely that technical measures to protect pipes, compressor and distribution stations will not be carried out according to the regulations, which will inevitably lead to the rapid operational failure of the entire system.

    Yo-mine, how smart! This GTS is no longer needed by anyone in fact. It will not be optimized but eliminated. That is, it was plundered. She had already been partially plundered before.

      Stupid, dependent shtetl politicians, miserable "Selyuk" with unrestrained klepto-habits (like "A scho ne zyim, te nadkusuyu!")! fool
      These destroy everything that their grabber can reach "qi ruki nichho ne krali" (this is a phrase, literally, from a hypocritical "self-promotion"
      the famous "classic" of Maidan rogulism)      ! request

    Optimization will begin with the opening of a mass of metal pickups along the entire route. Kiev will even earn extra money by selling "licenses" for "mining" scrap metal)))
    True, they already understand that this is the last thing they can steal. Hence the sadness-longing. After all, after that, it remains only to have time to reach the Canadian border.

    As V.V. Putin said at the energy forum, with all the spitting of anti-Russia, the Russian Federation increased the pumping through the gas transportation system of Ukraine by 10% and this at the existing prices for transit and, despite this, agrees to increase the volume of pumping, but there is a doubt that the gas transportation system will not withstand the pressure. although others claim the opposite and insist not only on extending the contract after 24 years, but also on increasing the volume of pumping.
    After the commissioning of the Turkish and northern streams, the value for the Russian Federation of the Ukrainian GTS will greatly decrease in order not to be left completely without free money, apparently it will be necessary to reduce the price of transit, to make it competitive.
    In this case, the Russian Federation, on friendship, can pay a hundred or two billions to optimize the Ukrainian GTS. Vladimir Putin said that Belarusians, Ukrainians and Russians are one people and therefore can supply fraternal peoples with gas at waste and even domestic prices, despite the hostile attitude towards the Russian Federation in the illusion that this will pass
