Ukraine has defiantly rejected international law and with no respect to the existing transit contract began to siphon off Russian gas illicitly and then entirely stopped gas deliveries to Europe through its territory.

In such an unprecedented situation, when our consumers in Europe do not receive Russian gas in any way we have nothing to do but to stop gas deliveries to the entry point of the Ukrainian gas transmission system until the moment when Ukraine has provided guarantees of gas transit in full volume.

At the same time Gazprom takes every single step to meet its export commitments. For this reason gas deliveries via Belarus and Blue Stream pipeline, as well as gas extraction from European underground gas storages have been increased, operations at the spot market are being executed.
