Acting CEO of Naftogaz, Fedorenko, said that Ukraine plans to import gas this winter. In particular, the company intends to do so at the peak of the season, namely at the beginning of 2027 year. He said this at the Kyiv International Economic Forum, reports the Suspilne correspondent.
“We will import gas at the peak of the season. ‘The toughest battle,’ let’s call it that, will be in the first quarter of 2027 year. After all, last year massive attacks on Ukraine’s production were in February; then overnight our production fell by about 50%. And we are preparing for similar and worse scenarios,” Fedorenko said.
Overall, according to Fedorenko, Ukraine now has the largest gas reserves in storage in the past 6 years. He added that Russia’s main task now is—even if Ukraine has gas—to prevent its delivery to homes and apartments.
