Russian gas flowing through Ukraine to Europe fell by 7% in 2018

Russian gas flowing through Ukraine to Europe fell by 7% in 2018, to 86.8 billion cubic meters, according to Ukrtransgaz, the national pipeline operator. In 2017, transit increased by 14% over 2016, largely to Gazprom’s repairs on Nord Stream 1 pipeline. This time next year, Gazprom plans to commission Nord Stream 2, doubling Russia’s Baltic pipeline capacity to 110 billion cubic meters. This could cut the flow of Russian gas through Ukraine by at least one half in 2020.
