The poor condition of the russian GTS is confirmed by both its operating time and technical indicators. This is especially true of traditional transit routes – Urengoy, Progress, and Souyz, writes ukrinform.net.

Since the beginning of 2021 alone, the russian GTS suffered seven major accidents: the one on the Perm-Gorky-1 trunk pipe, the emergency situation on the Kachkanar branch, accidents on the Soyuz and Orenburg-Novopskov pipelines, fires at the Yubileyniy field, a branch to the Beloretsk gas distribution system, the Central Asia-Center 2 and Urengoy-Center 2 pipelines.

Earlier, the chief of Gas TSO of Ukraine Sergiy Makogon said the statistics of emergencies recorded suggest that russia should boost investment in supporting its own GTS.

Nord Stream is only a small part of russia’s GTS that requires daily attention. Therefore, the money spent on the excessive Nord Stream 2 could be spent on upgrading russia’s existing GTS, Makogon said.
