Applications for gas transit from russia to Europe via Ukraine fluctuating over past week

Applications for the pumping of russian gas through the Ukrainian gas transport system to the European Union and Moldova during the week show fluctuations within the usual daily transit volumes of 2023-2024.

This is stated in the information of the GTS Operator of Ukraine company, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

Thus, russia's requests for gas transit from August 13 to August 20 amounted from 42 to 42.4 million cubic meters per day.

These indicators are the usual daily volumes of transit of russian gas through Ukraine.

At the same time, as of Monday, August 12, the request of the russian federation for the transit of its gas amounted to 39.559 million cubic meters.

We would like to remind that the transit of russian gas through the Ukrainian gas transport system against the background of the announcement of the establishment of control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine over the Kursk gas station "Sudzha" on August 8, compared to August 7, decreased by 6% to 37.25 million cubic meters, which is the lowest transit indicator since May 1, 2023.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on August 7, russian mass media reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine control the Kursk gas measuring station Sudzha, through which russian gas transits to the EU.

Currently, "Sudzha" is the only point through which russian gas enters Ukraine for its transportation to European customers.

In 7 months, the transit of russian gas through Ukraine increased by 10.5% to 8.1 billion cubic meters.

In 2023, Ukraine reduced the transit of russian gas by 28.5% to 14.65 billion cubic meters compared to 2022.
