Moscow has always reiterated that despite the attack on Ukraine, Russia is continuing to supply natural gas. So far this has been the case. Deliveries are made.
According to the state-owned company Gazprom, Russian gas continues to flow west via Ukraine at normal levels. This was reported by the Interfax news agency on Sunday, citing Gazprom spokesman Sergey Kupriyanov.
“Gazprom supplies Russian gas for transit through the territory of Ukraine in a regular manner and in accordance with the requirements of European consumers,” the spokesman said. Accordingly, 109.5 million cubic meters of gas should flow on Sunday.
Damaged gas pipelines in Ukraine
However, as a result of the fighting in Ukraine, gas pipelines in six areas have apparently been damaged. As a result, hundreds of thousands of people were cut off from the gas supply, reported the Ukrainian agency Unian, citing the operators of Ukraine’s gas transmission system. 16 gas distribution stations – including in the areas around Kharkiv, Kyiv, Zaporizhia, Donetsk and Luhansk – had to stop working.
Moscow has always reiterated that despite the attack on Ukraine, Russia is continuing to supply natural gas. In the wake of the Ukraine war, there are fears that Russia could stop its gas supplies to Europe. Ukraine – once the largest transit country for gas to Europe – still operates a gas network that is around 38,000 kilometers long.
