Gas pumping by Gazprom to the EU through Ukraine has been declining since the beginning of January

The volume of gas supplied by Gazprom to the Sudzha gas measuring station (GIS) in the Kursk region for transit through Ukraine to Europe will amount to 35.5 million cubic meters on January 6. m, informs TASS with reference to a company representative.

“Gazprom” supplies Russian gas for transit through the territory of Ukraine in the amount confirmed by the Ukrainian side through the Sudzha GIS – 35.5 million cubic meters. m on January 6,” he said.

The application for the GIS “Sokhanovka”, as before, was rejected, the company added. Since May, Ukraine has stopped accepting applications for pumping gas through this GIS due to hostilities in the Donbass.

At the end of December, the volume of average daily pumping through the Sudzha was around 42.4 million cubic meters. m, December 31, this figure fell to 41.2 million cubic meters. m, then increasing on January 1 to 43.5 million cubic meters. m, after which it began to gradually decline. On January 5, Gazprom supplied 37.6 million cubic meters through Sudzha. m of gas.

The current agreement between Russia and Ukraine on gas transit expires at the end of 2024. According to its terms, in 2020 Gazprom was supposed to pump 65 billion cubic meters. m, and then annually by 40 billion cubic meters. m, or 109 million cubic meters. m per day. The transit tariff is $2.66 per 1,000 cubic meters. m of gas per 100 km.

The export of Russian gas to Europe is now carried out only along two routes – along one of the branches of the Turkish Stream (as of November 20 – 29 million cubic meters per day) and in transit through Ukraine.

Pumping through the Nord Stream pipeline (capacity 55 billion cubic meters per year) was completely stopped at the end of August due to a malfunction of gas pumping equipment Siemens. On September 26, Nord Stream and the unlaunched Nord Stream 2 were damaged by sabotage in Danish and Swedish waters. The sanctions imposed against Russia because of the NWO in Ukraine have led to the impossibility of pumping through the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline (capacity – 32.9 billion cubic meters per year), which has actually stopped since the end of last year.
