RT: Russia resumes gas deliveries to Ukraine after six-month hiatus
Russian gas deliveries were received by Ukraine on Tuesday, with a total of 43.5 million cubic meters to be imported, according to a spokesman for Ukrtransgaz, Naftogaz’s transport subsidiary.
“On Tuesday Ukrtransgaz started importing natural gas from Russia. 43.5 million cubic meters of gas from Russia will be imported to meet the everyday needs of Ukrainian citizens,” company spokesman Maksim Bielawsky said.
Deliveries were initially planned to resume on December 11, but Naftogaz asked to begin receiving the gas earlier, TASS reports.
Gazprom confirmed Sunday that Ukraine's gas importer, Naftogaz, has paid $378 million for 1 billion cubic meters of Russian gas for December delivery.
