🇺🇦 **Ukraine Ready for Limited Gas Exports to the EU**: Experts assess the benefits of selling 15% of production. 📉 **Price Spread**: Gas on the UEB costs ~$480, on the TTF hub ~$739. The $300 difference could be a lifeline for the industry. 🛠 **Where will the money go?** Repairing damaged facilities, new wells, and geological exploration. The private sector has not yet reached pre-war volumes (3.5 billion vs 5 billion cubic meters). ⚖️ **Security**: Exports will be strictly limited and can be stopped at any time if energy security is threatened. 📈 **Reserves**: 13 billion cubic meters already accumulated in UGS (+40% compared to last year). By November — more than 15 billion. #Ukraine #Gas #Economy #Energy #XABinfo
