The Sudzha gas transit hub has become a focal point of tension, as Ukraine's military operations in the region raise questions about the flow of natural gas to Europe.
Benjamin Hilgenstock states, 'If Ukraine wanted to stop the transit of Russian gas, it could do so from within its own territory at any time,' indicating that the control of Sudzha might not be crucial for this.
Despite the fighting, Gazprom claims it is still pumping gas from Sudzha, and European operators have reported no disruptions in supply, suggesting a complex interplay of military actions and economic necessities.
The strategic importance of Sudzha cannot be understated, as it remains the last functioning gas transit hub in Russia for exports aimed at European markets.
