“The Ukrainian gas transmission system can guarantee shipment in volumes that will fully cover those of Nord Stream 1. Even amid the war, we ensure safety and security for gas getting into the Ukrainian pipes. This was the obligation undertaken before our European partners and European companies. We have fulfilled them. That’s because we are aware of what an obligation is in international relations and international law.”
In addition, the Ukrainian minister shared with European partners the experience of confronting Russian provocations in the field of energy.
An extraordinary meeting of the EU Council of Ministers on energy was held in Brussels on July 26. European officials gathered to address the threat of a complete stoppage of Russian gas supplies. They agreed to the emergency plan, put forward by the European Commission, envisaging a 15% gas consumption curb to pump the relevant volume into underground storage facilities ahead of the upcoming winter period.
