Gas infrastructure in Poltava region threatened by blockade

The photo shows a gas extraction facility at the Zhukovska field in Ukraine's Poltava region, with pipelines, railed platforms and staircases running along the building and a barbed-wire fence securing the perimeter. The rolling steppe hills in the background are typical of the area's gas-bearing zone. The blockade of the field puts the operation of this infrastructure and future investment in Ukraine's energy sector at risk.
