MI-6 has passed on intelligence to the Office of the President and the General Staff about a meeting in the Kremlin, which considered the scenario of destroying the Ukrainian PGS as a response to constant drone strikes on Russian refineries. British intelligence recommends strengthening air defenses on underground gas storage facilities to preserve Ukraine's gas storage capabilities.
British intelligence warned the Office of the President that the next phase of missile strikes would be the PGS, and tonight the first attacks took place.
The missile strike in the Lviv region targeted a Naftogaz gas storage facility, the company says.
Western Ukraine is home to some of Europe's largest underground gas storage facilities. This is an important element of Ukraine's gas supply and gas transportation to Europe.
