Natural gas supplies to Ukraine from Slovakia on September 22, 2014 reached almost the upper limit of 27 million cubic meters of gas.

According to tentative data from Eustream a.s., the operator of the Slovakian gas transport system, on September 23, 2014, the reverse gas flow to Ukraine came to 26.9 million cubic meters, while earlier in September the volume did not exceed 26.5 million cubic meters a day.

In the period from September 1 to September 23, 2014 Ukraine imported 591 million cubic meters of natural gas from Slovakia.

According to tentative data from public joint-stock company Ukrtransgaz, as of September 22, 2014, Ukraine has accumulated 16.478 billion cubic meters of gas in its underground storage facilities.

The minimum guaranteed capacity of the Vojany-Uzhgorod pipeline, which is supplying gas to Ukraine from Europe, amounts to 6.4 billion cubic meters or 17.5 million cubic meters of gas a day. The design capacity of the pipeline is about 10 billion cubic meters a year or 27.1 million cubic meters a day.

The largest part of downstream transport capacity until 2019 at the Vojany-Uzhgorod pipeline was purchased by Ukraine's national oil and gas company Naftogaz Ukrainy.

Ukraine imported 2.132 bcm of gas from Europe in 2013.
