Ukraine reinstated reverse gas flows from the EU in April 2014
Last month Ukraine pumped 221 million cubic meters of gas from Europe as reversed supply. This is 10 times less than the volume imported in the same month of 2013, the press-office of PJSC Ukrtransgas reports.
Reverse gas flows were from Poland (118 million cub.m) and Hungary (103 million cub.m).
Over the seven months the amounts of gas pumped by Ukraine were 18% more as compared to the same period a year ago. However, during this period Ukraine saved nearly 15% of natural gas having reduced consumption of expensive import blue-burning fuel used to cover technological needs.
On June 16, 2014, Gazprom reportedly decided to suspend gas delivery to Ukraine and appealed to the arbitration in Stockholm to compel Ukraine to pay for the gas debt amounting to $4,5 billion.
