Fall in gas imports, pumping due to lack of funding - Ukrtransgaz
The decline in natural gas imports from Europe and the subsequent pumping into underground gas storage facilities (UGS) is due to a lack of funding, President of PJSC Ukrtransgaz Ihor Prokopiv has told journalists in Kyiv.
"There are technical possibilities, there is the question of money and the government's decision how to get it," he said.
Prokopiv also said that Ukraine expected a significantly reduction in the price of Russian gas imports.
However, he went on to note the successful gas pumping into UGS facilities in June, when storage was replenished with 1.7 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
As reported, after the suspension from July 1 of natural gas imports from Russia, Ukraine also reduced reverse deliveries from Europe to 13.6 million cubic meters per day.
As a result, in early July Ukraine has pumped about 30 million cubic meters of gas into its UGS per day, while in June daily pumping reached 50-60 million cubic meters.
