According to Valentin Zemlyansky, Director of energy programs of the Center for world economy and international relations of NAS of Ukraine, conclusions should be doing some time later, after will stand frosts, reported by “Politnavigator”.
“After a frost it will become clear whether there is a need to purchase additional supplies. We went with 12 billion cubic meters of gas, is relatively normal. Then everything will depend on the weather. Here go this week’s frost, it will be possible to make any conclusions. But if this weather will last more than a week, I think additional volumes will be required in any case,” – said the expert.

In this case, it may suffer internal customers, primarily the manufacturers, the expert believes. In 2012 the Ukrainian government and “Naftogaz” did just that, limiting the supply.
