Kyiv, June 19 (Navigator, Mikhail Ryabov) – The Ukrainian press the very next day refuted the words of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who put forward a version of the involvement of Russian saboteurs in organizing an explosion on the Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod gas pipeline.

“And before the aggravation of relations with the country that filled it with gas, the gas transportation system exploded several times. And the governor of the Poltava region, Viktor Bugaychuk, said that the gas pipeline in the section where the incident occurred was in emergency condition for at least 2 years, which was repeatedly reported to NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine. Therefore, experts are inclined to blame recent and long-standing accidents solely on the mismanagement and short-sightedness of the Ukrainian gas transport workers themselves (and officials associated with the management of the gas transportation system), who constantly postponed the modernization of pipelines,” the Capital newspaper writes today.
Energy market expert Dmitry Marunich reminded the publication that it is the Urengoy - Pomary - Uzhgorod pipeline that is the most problematic. There were 2010 accidents on this gas pipeline in 2, similar to the one that happened the other day. The reason is gas pipeline corrosion due to an aggressive environment.
