The application for pumping russian gas through the Ukrainian gas transport system to the European Union and Moldova on Thursday, August 22, as of 4:23 p.m., is 42.26 million cubic meters.

This is stated in the information of the Gas Transmission System Operator of Ukraine, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

As of August 21, the request of the russian federation for the transit of its gas amounted to 42.4 million cubic meters.

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

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on August 7, russian media announced 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.
