Gazprom gas exports to Europe via Ukraine hit historic low
Russia's Gazprom's gas exports to the European Union (EU) via Ukraine reached a record low of 951.4 million cubic metres in the first 30 days of January, Russian business newspaper Vedomosti reported on Tuesday, citing Gazprom figures.
Vedomosti reported, Gazprom had shipped between 41-43 million cubic metres via Ukraine daily during the second half of last year.
However, from Jan 5, daily volumes began to fall sharply, with only 24.4 million cubic metres shipped daily by Jan 19.
Vedomosti reported that the decline is primarily the result of reduced demand for Russian gas in Europe, amid an unusually warm and windy winter.
