Russia's applications for gas transit to EU via Ukraine decrease during week

Applications for the pumping of russian gas through the Ukrainian gas transport system to the European Union and Moldova decreased slightly during the week.

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

Thus, russia's applications for gas transit from September 2 to 9 amounted to 41.85 to 42.3 million cubic meters per day.

At the same time, in the previous week, russia's applications for gas transit amounted to 42 to 42.4 million cubic meters per day.

These indicators are within the traditional daily volumes of transit of russian gas in 2023-2024.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on August 27, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine will not extend the contract for the transit of russian gas after its expiration in 2024.

The transit of russian gas through the Ukrainian gas transport system 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, amid reports of the establishment of control by the Armed Forces of the Kursk over the Sudzha gas measuring station.

On August 7, russian mass media reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine control the Sudzha gas pipeline through which russian gas transits to the EU.

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

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