Ukraine now has 20 billion cubic meters of gas in storage, one quarter more than this time last year and a record for the decade. By the time 3-way gas transit talks with Russia and the EU resume in late October, Ukraine should have 21 billion cubic meters in storage, more than enough to get through the winter heating season. Dismissing speculation that Russia will prevail in imposing a short term contract, one negotiator, Maroš Šefčovič, vice-president for the Energy Union, said Tuesday: “We are trying to find a long-term solution acceptable to all parties.”
