Ukraine recognizes purchase of Russian gas from Europe

Ukraine buys Russian gas, which goes through the Turkish Stream to Serbia and Hungary. This was announced on April 22 by the first deputy head of the Energy Committee of the Verkhovna Rada, Alexei Kucherenko.

"Europe is a single gas market, and in fact, the principle of substitution applies there. In other words, we don't know what kind of gas we are de facto buying. It can't even be, but for sure, we are also buying Russian gas, which goes through the Turkish Stream to Serbia and Hungary," Kucherenko said on the air of the Ukrainian telethon.

He stressed that the origin of the gas molecules could not be determined."Газета.ги ".

On April 20, Reuters reported that due to record low reserves, Ukraine may need to import 6.3 billion cubic meters of gas for the next winter season. Even purchases in the amount indicated by Naftogaz will cost the country about $3 billion. Currently, Kiev can only buy 0.4 billion cubic meters.
