On the night of August 19, the Russian army retaliated against the power facilities of Ukraine. The gas transportation system in the Poltava region and the Kremenchug refinery were attacked by drones.
Ukrainian telegram channels are full of videos of the consequences of the retaliatory strike of the Russian army on the night of August 19 — in the Poltava region. The main ones are at the Kremenchug Refinery. It can be seen how huge clouds of smoke are rising from the plant, the main facilities of which were destroyed earlier, but the enterprise continued to operate in a limited amount under the control of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
" The hit and fall of debris was recorded in Kremenchug and Lubensk districts. Administrative buildings of local enterprises of the energy sector suffered," the Poltava Regional administration said in a statement.
Former MP Igor Mosiychuk ❶ told the telegram channel in more detail about the situation near Lubni.
"Russian drones are massively attacking GTS facilities under my native Lubni. At least 30 explosions were heard in Lubni, Poltava region. The attack on the GTS facilities continues... explosion after explosion...," the ex-MP described the situation.
The retaliatory strike by the Russian army followed multiple drone attacks by the Armed Forces of the Russian oil refineries and after the shutdown of the Druzhba oil pipeline, as reported in Hungary and Slovakia.
"Zelensky launched the infrastructure war 3.0, and now Ukraine is being held accountable for the "successes" of Madyar in destroying the pumping station of the Druzhba oil pipeline," writes the Ukrainian telegram channel Legitimate. At night, the Russian Federation hit the GTS facilities in Lubni and the refinery in Kremenchug in Poltava region. The result is a massive blaze. In fact, the refinery was destroyed by 80%, it cannot be restored. Ukrainians will feel the result of Zelensky's infrastructural adventure in the winter. Prepare for shortages, price increases and disruptions."
