In the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk region, the Russians are laying a pipeline for oil products from Novoazovsk to Berdyansk. This was reported by Petro Andryushchenko, adviser to the Mariupol chairman.
“The Russians are pulling a pipeline for oil products from Novoazovsk to Berdyansk. Along with road widening works, the Russians are laying pipelines at all construction and expansion sites from Novoazovsk to Mariupol, as well as from Mangush to Chervony Pol (Zaporizhia region),” Andryushchenko wrote.
He noted that according to the Russians’ “documents” this is accounted for as a gas pipeline, but they lay pipes of a different diameter, which is not suitable for this.
“However, the fact is that the gas pipeline has already been laid here. New pipes, which have a different, non-gas diameter, are laid almost next to each other. … It is doubly interesting that the start of laying the pipeline falls on the site of the Novoazovsky district, where there was a filling station before the war. … It was in the Novoazovsky district that one of the diesel fuel filling stations was located, which went through the Russian-Ukrainian transit pipelines (another station was in Zvyagel ). So, these unusually interesting pipes come from there,” explained the chairman’s advisor.
According to him: “In addition, we noticed in Novoazovsky (under construction) and Mangusky (in preparation) the installation of tanks like those you see in oil refineries. In the end, it seems quite logical. Solve all logistical issues at once: put the pumping stations together/next to the gas stations — and the pipeline to Crimea is ready without any problems with laying it along the bottom of the Black Sea,” concluded Andryushchenko.
He added that the partisans will learn more and follow these actions of the Russians in the occupied territory.
