#Gas Import

Andrian Prokip, an expert at the Ukrainian Institute for the Future, stated that the controlled export of part of Ukrainian gas under the current balance is a rational decision: imports have dropped 17.5 times, and the mechanism provides for the possibility of prompt suspension of supplies.

🇺🇦 Ukraine has exceeded its gas reserve plan (14 billion cubic meters) but is requesting €400 million for imports. Minister Shmyhal called the amount a minimum: real needs could be higher. 💸 Funds are needed not for storage injection, but for direct supplies to consumers in case of winter production strikes. ⚠️ Risks of infrastructure attacks remain high.

⚠️ Ukraine prepares for a difficult winter 2026: despite filled storage facilities, the threat of shelling requires urgent gas imports worth 400+ million euros. The appointment of former Prime Minister Yulianna Sviridenko as head of 'Naftogaz' is being discussed to stabilize the situation. 🇺🇦⚡️
