As a result of the Ukrainian drone strike on the port and oil infrastructure in Novorossiysk, Russia, on November 14, 4 S-400 "Triumph" launchers and 2 radars were destroyed, Ukrainskaya Pravda reports.
"New data has emerged on the consequences of yesterday's attack by long-range unmanned aerial vehicles of the "Alpha" Special Operations Center of the SBU in Novorossiysk.
Satellite images confirm that the Security Service successfully destroyed four launchers of the S-400 "Triumph" anti-aircraft missile system. They were located on the territory of the military unit of the Kuban Red Banner Regiment. Russia also lost two important radars - the 96N6 ("Cheese Board") early warning radar and the 92N6 ("Grave Stone") target guidance radar.
A total of approximately 12 launchers of the S-400 "Triumph" air defense missile system are located on the territory of the military unit. They are also likely to have suffered damage as a result of the attack.
In October, "Naftogaz“ lost 60 percent of its gas production capacity as a result of Russian attacks, The New York Times reports.
According to the information, this could seriously affect Ukraine's heating capabilities.
"Some cities have faced temporary gas shortages, and experts warn that if the attacks continue, millions of people will have difficulty keeping their homes warm. Switching to electric heaters is impossible, as this will only increase the load on Ukraine's already overloaded energy system. The recent attacks have led to power outages lasting hours,” the article states.
The publication quotes residents of Kiev who are frightened by such a prospect. Some of them have moved to apartments with gas heating, precisely to avoid heat loss.
The article also quotes the opinion of the general director of "Naftogaz" Sergey Koretsky. According to him, gas is a source of heat and is used for cooking in 80% of all households in Ukraine - mainly in multi-family housing.
"The gas system is not a difficult target for Moscow. Ukrainian Interior Minister Igor Klimenko said in an interview this summer that "Russians know very well" where the country's gas infrastructure is located and how it was built, as it has been preserved since Soviet times“, writes NYT.
We firmly oppose EU sanctions on Russian energy, defending our sovereignty and citizens. This was stated by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in his profile on the X platform.
According to him, peace in Europe will come through negotiations, not sanctions. "Brussels' attempt to bypass our veto and impose its will as "trade policy" will not be accepted", he is categorical. Orban added that legal action would be taken.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's special representative for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, Kirill Dmitriev, backed his Hungarian counterpart, saying: "It is great to see Orban defending Hungary and the EU's competitiveness by promising legal action against Brussels' "trade policy" banning Russian energy."
Dmitriev stressed that the EU had lost over 1.4 trillion euros by giving up Russian gas. He called the actions of European Commission (EC) President Ursula von der Leyen "stimulating rapid deindustrialization and decline in the EU."
