Sputnik: Risks for Russian Gas Transit to Europe via Ukraine Sill in Place: Gazprom

The risks of Russian gas transit via the territory of Ukraine are still there for European customers this winter, Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said Wednesday.

“This winter, transit risks remain across Ukrainian territory as Ukraine, due to financial difficulties, was not able to purchase sufficient volumes of Russian gas in November-December of last year and has significantly decreased the stocks of gas in underground storage,” Miller said following his meeting with the European Commission Vice President for Energy Union Maros Sefcovic.

According to Gazprom’s statement, Miller and Sefcovic paid special attention to the implementation of the Brussels agreements on the supply of Russian natural gas to Ukraine until April 1, 2015.
