"Gazprom supplies Russian gas for transit through the territory of Ukraine in the regular mode in accordance with the requests of European consumers - 108.3 mln cubic meters as of April 6," he said.
In general, Europe has recently significantly increased gas purchases from Russia against the backdrop of rising spot prices due to cold weather, lack of wind, and the aggravation of the situation in Ukraine.
Energy Minister German Galushchenko said earlier that Ukraine’s production of natural gas has fallen by 15% over the past month. "Now production has fallen by around 15% across the country taking into account UGV and private companies,"he said.
The minister clarified that production was stopped at a number of facilities in the Kharkov region. UGV (Ukraine's largest gas producer Ukrgazdobycha) is part of the structure of Naftogaz. In 2021, the company reduced gas production by 3.97% to 13.67 bln cubic meters.
