Since the beginning of 2018, Ukraine has reduced gas imports from the EU countries by 22.9% compared to the same period in 2017 due to significant gas reserves in its underground storage facilities.
Ukrinform learnt this from the press service of JSC Ukrtransgaz.
"Since the beginning of 2018, gas imports from Europe have decreased by 22.9% compared to the same period in 2017 due to significant gas reserves in the underground storage facilities,” the report says.
