This is evidenced by data of the operator of gas transport system of Ukraine – “Ukrtransgas”.
According to company’s data, the daily volume of gas injection in underground storages as of May 28 made up about 13.3 mln cubic meters.
As UNIAN reported, in connection with completion of heating season Ukraine stopped taking out gas from underground storages and on April 7 it started refilling volumes of “blue fuel” in storages.
In 2016 Ukraine plans to purchase about 11-13 bln cubic meters, however this volume can be covered by European suppliers. About 8.2 bln cubic meters of gas are planned to be injected in underground storages for the upcoming heating season.
