Gazprom has reduced gas transit through Ukraine by 20% – from 109 million cubic meters to 87.7 million cubic meters per day, calculated the head of the Ukrainian GTS Operator (OGTSU) Serhiy Makogon.
According to him, the Russian concern “again did not book Yamal-Europe and reduced transit through Ukraine from 109 million cubic meters. m per day up to 87.7 million cubic meters. m “, reports” Interfax-Ukraine “.
As Makogon pointed out, the decrease in the Russian monopoly’s pumping through Ukraine and Poland has led to a record gas withdrawal from European storage facilities.
Earlier today, Gazprom indicated that Europe has already withdrawn from its underground storage more than 41% of the gas injected this year, PRIME notes.
Meanwhile, the price of gas in Europe during the exchange trading on Friday continued to fall, having gone below $ 1200 per thousand cubic meters, TASS records.
However, in general, high gas prices in the EU threaten the Ukrainian economy, and the authorities are negotiating with local gas producers to prevent shutdowns of enterprises. This was announced today by Rostislav Shurma, deputy head of the office of President Vladimir Zelensky.
We add that on Friday Gazprom again did not want (for the fourth day in a row) to book the capacity of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline for the transit of fuel through Poland to Germany.
Earlier, against the backdrop of the company’s refusal to book capacity, there was a new rise in natural gas prices in Europe – the cost of fuel jumped to a record $ 2,190 per thousand cubic meters, which is extremely painful for both household consumers and industry. However, later the gas price dropped significantly.
