Platts: Ukraine's July natural gas imports from Europe down 18.1% year on year

Ukraine's imports of natural gas from Europe decreased 18.1% year on year, or 49 million cubic meters, to 221 million cu m in July from about 270 million cu m in July 2013, state gas shipper UkrTransGaz said Thursday.

The country's imports of gas from Europe in July dropped 32.9% month on month from 329.3 million cu m imported in June, the company said.

Ukraine imports gas via Poland and Hungary, after Russia, its main gas supplier, completely suspended gas deliveries on June 16 due to a dispute over gas prices.
