A viral X post reveals a dramatic image of a blazing gas metering station in Sudzha, Russia—reportedly hit by a Ukrainian strike. This critical transit point once funneled Russian gas to Europe until Ukraine terminated the transit deal in January 2025. The attack marks a major escalation in the ongoing conflict, targeting infrastructure with deep strategic significance.
Sudzha, seized by Ukrainian forces in August 2024, became a flashpoint after Russia abandoned a 30-day energy infrastructure truce, accusing Kyiv of violations. The strike further strains already-fraught relations, signaling Ukraine’s aggressive stance against Russian supply routes.
