For the first time in history, the physical import of gas from Hungary to Ukraine began, announced the CEO at GTS Operator of Ukraine, Serhiy Makogon. Previously, the GTS system could only operate to deliver gas from Ukraine to Hungary. However, thanks to technical measures taken, it is now possible to transport gas in both directions. As a result, according to Makogon, the Hungarian route becomes the second guaranteed gas supply route to Ukraine after Slovakia.
Ukraine can start importing gas from Hungary.
Gas transit through Ukraine has dropped to 9 billion cubic meters.
