The head of the state company “Gazprom” Alexei Miller believes that Ukraine will not have time to pump gas in its storage (UGS) before the start of the heating season. According to the head of the Russian company, Ukraine lacks about 2.1 billion cubic meters, which creates potential risks for the transit of Russian gas to Europe, according to TASS .

«Who is behind schedule the previous year on the relevant date to 2.1 billion cubic meters. If this continues, then pumped into underground storage facilities Ukraine to the beginning of the selection period of about 15 billion cubic meters of gas. Here, the arithmetic is very simple, in the last year to the beginning of the selection period, they were 17.1 billion cubic meters subtract 2.1 and get 15, “- said Miller.

He believes that Ukraine will not be able to build the necessary volumes of gas injection into its underground storage facilities before the heating season.

«And we all know how the gas transportation system of Ukraine and the gas in the winter underground storage facilities in the west of “Naftogaz” of Ukraine uses for the transit of our gas to European consumers. The risk we see, and most importantly, as I said, that the daily regimes, which are now absolutely do not suggest that they will come to 17 billion cubic meters, and time is short until the autumn-winter season – it’s October ” – Miller fears

Previous it was reported that “Gazprom” once again increases the transit of gas through Ukraine
