Zelenskyy: Ukraine could receive about 10 bcm of gas per year through Vertical Gas Corridor

Ukraine hopes the Vertical Gas Corridor will be technically completed by the end of the year, and thanks to this corridor the country could receive about 10 billion cubic meters of gas annually, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

"We hope this corridor will be technically completed by the end of the year. And for us today this is very important – at the very least, it could serve as an alternative if there are certain blockages by some representatives in Europe… Ukraine could receive around 10 billion cubic meters of gas per year," Zelenskyy said during a press conference with Bulgarian Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov on Monday.

The president also said that during the meeting with Gyurov, the sides discussed continued military support from Bulgaria, as well as joint production of various weapons on the territory of both countries, including drones.

"And I am very glad that we have such a ten-year agreement between our states," Zelenskyy said.

He also thanked Bulgaria for its support for Ukraine’s future accession to the European Union.
