Ukraine expects to increase capacity to import natural gas from Slovakia in the reverse direction to 41 million cubic meters a day to 55-57 million cubic meters, Ukrtransgaz President Ihor Prokopiv told journalists in Kyiv on Tuesday.

The operators of the gas transportation systems in Ukraine and Slovakia recently agreed the relevant technical solutions, Prokopiv said, clarifying that the work would be carried out on Slovak territory.

He added that Ukraine already has sufficient capacity to import gas from Slovakia, Hungary and Poland.
