MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 22nd May, 2022) Russian energy giant Gazprom streamed 44.7 million cubic meters of gas to the Sudzha station on Sunday for further transit to Europe, as verified by Ukraine, Gazprom spokesman Sergey Kupriyanov said.
"Gazprom supplies Russian gas for transit through the territory of Ukraine in the amount confirmed by the Ukrainian side through the Sudzha station - 44.7 million cubic meters as of May 22. The application for the Sokhranivka station was rejected," Kupriyanov told journalists.
The Sunday figure is a 3% drop compared to Saturday when 45.9 million cubic meters of gas was supplied by Gazprom.
Sudzha remains the only station transiting Russian gas to Europe via Ukraine after Kiev refused to continue admitting fuel at another station, Sokhranivka, on May 11. The Ukrainian regulator said the closure was the result of Sokhranivka going under the control of Russian armed forces in the Luhansk People's Republic.
Gazprom later said that it is technically impossible to transfer all volumes of gas via the Sudzha station, however, the company supplies gas to European customers according to contractual obligations and submitted requests.
