The facilities are planned to be built in Hungary, near the Ukrainian-Hungarian border, to safeguard part of the reserves from Russian attacks and to diversify supplies. The agreement was announced by Serhiy Fedorenko, acting chairman of the Naftogaz board.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<p><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The memorandum sets out future storage capacity for petroleum products.<\/li>\n<li>The facilities are to be built near the Ukrainian-Hungarian border.<\/li>\n<li>Stocks held abroad should be less vulnerable to shelling.<\/li>\n<li>\u00abNaftogaz\u00bb is expecting a more reliable supply for Ukrainian consumers.<\/li>\n<li>The capacity, budget and project timeline have not yet been announced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The project is currently at the memorandum stage<\/h2>\n<p>The agreement concerns the construction of new storage facilities for petroleum products intended for the Ukrainian market. The location near the border is intended to combine the use of Hungarian infrastructure with convenient logistics for onward supply to Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>The parties announced the signing of a memorandum, rather than the start of construction. The details of the future project, including its capacity, cost and timeframe, are to be determined in subsequent stages of the agreement.<\/p>\n<h2>Overseas reserves should reduce the vulnerability of the fuel market<\/h2>\n<p>The need for additional storage facilities is linked to Russia\u2019s ongoing attacks on Ukraine\u2019s fuel infrastructure. Storing some petroleum products outside high-risk areas could reduce the market\u2019s dependence on individual facilities that could be damaged as a result of shelling.<\/p>\n<p>According to <strong>Fedorenko<\/strong>, the diversification of supply routes and the establishment of stockpiles outside areas at risk of attack are among the factors contributing to the stability of the fuel market.
