Russia’s Gazprom continues to send gas even though Ukraine has captured a key technical site in Kursk. The consequences could be extremely serious for the company and the Kremlin. GasTSO of Ukraine CEO Sergiy Makogon discusses how Ukraine recently captured the critical Sudzha gas metering station in Russia, which gives Ukraine leverage over Russian gas giant Gazprom. While Gazprom no longer controls this key site for measuring gas flows to Europe, it continues shipping gas due to its financial dependency on transit revenues and the political importance of maintaining supplies to countries like Hungary and Slovakia. Makagon analyzes Gazprom’s risks and incentives for continuing transit despite the loss of control over metering.

Didn’t Russia shell the site? Some of the gas pipelines were damaged.

As much as I welcome uplifting news, I doubt this opinion piece.
It doesn’t explain why metering at this station is so important. I would expect that there are alternatives for metering the gas that can help to assess the transferred quantities with a rather high precision.
However, I’m not an expert in the field. Just saying the article isn’t very enlightening.
