“Ukrtransgas” has started repair works on the reverse gas pipe, through which the natural gas is imported from Poland to Ukraine, RBC-Ukraine reports.
Ukraine has suspended the gas import from Poland for the period of repair works on the reverse gas pipe, Head of Ukrtransgas Maxim Beliavskii wrote in his Facebook page.
“Today we plan to start performing scheduled repair works on the gas pipe, through which the natural gas is imported from Poland to Ukraine. The hot works on Komarno-Drozdovytchi MG, as per the plan, will continue for two months. About 4 kilometers of gas pipes are planned to be reconnected”, - he said.
He also noted that the repair works do not influence the gas transit for European consumers, only for reverse supplies in Ukraine.
“While these works are performed, the natural gas will be imported for domestic needs (according to the submitted applications of traders) on Slovak and Hungarian corridors”, he said.
