Ukraine Releases Daily Transmission Reports to Defend Against Russian Major's Claims

Ukraine transmitted 203.6 million cubic metres (mcm) of gas to the EU and Moldova on November 26, Ukrtransgas and Naftogaz reveal, adding that the orders for Wednesday and Thursday were satisfied in full.

"The orders for transmission through cross-border points at the country’s Western border amounted to 204.3 mcm for the day," Naftogaz reported on Friday evening. "During the two days after Naftogaz stopped buying gas from Gazprom, Ukraine has transmitted a total of 409.7 mcm. The orders for the period amounted to 409.4 mcm’. 

The publishing of the information comes in response to allegations from Russia's Gazprom, state-run Ukrtransgas said in a statement on Monday.

Ukraine’s gas transmission system has a daily capacity of 444 mcm of gas. According to Naftogaz, just 46% of this capacity from Russia to the European Union was used during the gas day of 26 November 2015.

"In response to constant Gazprom claims about instability of Ukrainian transit after Ukraine’s decision to stop procuring gas from Gazprom, our company started publishing daily information on the volumes of transmitted gas," Ukrtransgas' press office wrote in an email statement on Monday.
