Ukraine is testing a software solution designed to automatically warn filling stations about approaching enemy drones. Fuel stations are stepping up protection amid a rise in attacks on gas stations in the capital and on international highways.
This was reported by Dilo
citing Prime Minister of Ukraine Serhiy Koretskyi.
According to him, the system should show the direction of movement
of the unmanned aerial vehicles and promptly send warnings about the threat to gas stations. After
testing at filling stations, the solution is planned to be rolled out to
other types of businesses as well.
During a meeting with fuel market operators, they also
discussed arranging shelters for employees and customers and installing
additional protective structures for the ground infrastructure of fuel stations.
The parties separately analyzed stocks of petroleum products,
logistics, and the pricing situation. According to Koretskyi, because of events in the Middle
East and disruptions to supply chains, global oil quotations are rising, which
is already affecting the decisions of participants in the Ukrainian market.
To support fuel supplies, the authorities are also working on
measures in rail logistics and the possibility of simplifying customs procedures for
fuel tankers using the approach that was applied in 2022 year. No specific timelines for
implementing these measures have been announced yet.
Representatives of the Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Economy,
Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Infrastructure, the National Security and Defense Council, the State Emergency Service, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and fuel market operators took part in the meeting.
Recall that in 11 September, Russian forces struck two gas stations in the Dniprovskyi and Obolonskyi districts
of Kyiv, with one of the stations attacked repeatedly. Prior to that, in 10 September,
a loitering munition struck a Ukrnafta fuel station in the capital.
