Nominations, or requests, for Russian gas into Slovakia from Ukraine via the Velke Kapusany border point stood at 41.3 million cubic metres (mcm), up slightly from 41 mcm the previous day, Ukrainian transmission system data showed.
Russian gas producer Gazprom said it would ship 42.4 mcm of natural gas to Europe via Ukraine on Monday.
Gas flows via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which crosses the Baltic Sea to Germany from Russia, remained at zero.
The pipeline was shut on Aug. 31 for what was supposed to be three days of maintenance but has not reopened, with Moscow blaming the situation on Western sanctions and technical issues.
Russia said it was unable to restart the pipeline but since then the pipeline has also been damaged by suspected sabotage. (Reporting by Arundhati Sarkar in Bengaluru and Marwa Rashad in London; editing by Kim Coghill and Jason Neely)
