Public joint-stock company Ukrtransgaz, the operator of the Ukrainian gas transport system, has finished installation of an interconnector between the Vojany-Uzhgorod and Soyuz trunk pipelines.

The press service of the company reported on Wednesday that this will allow increasing the effectiveness and flexibility of the Slovakian route of gas supplies to Ukrainian consumers.

"The interconnector potentially allows increasing the volume of gas supplies from Slovakia to Ukraine," the press service said, citing the director of the central dispatch department of Ukrtransgaz, Vadym Frolov.

As reported, Ukraine and Slovakia are working on the expansion of technical opportunities for reverse gas supplies.
