Russian gas transit via Ukraine totaled about 227 million cub.m. during yesterday, Gasprom’s official representative Sergei Kupriyanov told journalists.
This corresponds to the schedule. Before that the transit volume showed growth: in the middle of last week they totaled approximately 185 million cub.m. a day, on Sunday – 205 million and on Monday – 214 million cub.m.
On June 16, 2014 Gasprom switched Naftogas to pre-payment for gas deliveries, because of the debts totaled $4.5 billion. As a result of that only volume of gas for transit to Europe is delivered to the Ukrainian gas transportation system.
The Ukrainian representative said at the session of the EU coordination group on the gas issues in Brussels on June 20 that the transit is reliable.
