Ukraine's gas imports via Transbalkan route to double on Monday
Ukraine will almost double gas imports via the southern Transbalkan route linking it with Greece on Monday as it was forced to replace supplies lost due to Russian attacks, import data from transit operators showed.
Russian missile strikes on gas production facilities have deprived Ukraine of at least half of its own gas output and local energy officials say the country will need to import an additional 4 Bm3 of gas over the winter.
The operator data showed that Ukraine expected to import 2.82 MMm3 of gas via the route on Monday versus 1.25 MMm3 on Sunday, the volume that Ukraine had imported in previous days.
Ukraine resumed gas imports via the Transbalkan route - which crosses Moldova, Romania and Bulgaria - in early November following a sharp increase in Russian attacks.
The same operator data showed that Ukraine planned to import about 23.6 MMm3 of gas from other sources on Monday, including nearly 10 MMm3 from Hungary, about 9 MMm3 from Poland and about 4.5 MMm3 from Slovakia - all broadly in line with volumes recorded since October.
