Ukraine initiates restriction of Russian gas supplies to Europe through Nord Stream-1 - Gas Transmission System Operator of Ukraine
Currently, there are free capacities in Poland and Ukraine to provide additional transit through our gas pipeline
What happened. Ukraine is negotiating and consulting with European and American partners to limit Russian gas supplies to Europe through Nord Stream-1.
Source. This was announced by Serhiy Makogon, Director General of the Gas Transmission System Operator of Ukraine (OGTSU), on ICTV, Interfax-Ukraine reports.
Comments. "We welcome the sanctions against Nord Stream-2 and propose to limit Nord Stream-1, as there are currently vacant facilities in Poland and Ukraine to provide additional transit through our pipeline," the OGTSU chairman said.
According to him, maintaining the transit of Russian gas through the Ukrainian GTS during the war is an extremely important factor, which is an additional guarantee of preserving Ukraine's gas infrastructure from destruction by Russian aggressors.
“We do not have a separate gas supply infrastructure for local consumers, we have the whole system working as one, and transit and transportation is carried out through the same gas pipelines. Therefore, for us, transit during the war is a kind of air defense system, "Makogon stressed.
As he noted, since the beginning of the war, the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine's GTS is 109 million cubic meters per day, which corresponds to the contracted volumes
