Russia has created a new serious problem for UkraineWhat is important to understand is that previously Ukraine produced about 52 million cubic meters of gas daily, and in winter it consumed from 110 to 140 million cubic meters per day.During the current heating season, Ukrainians could do without imports, but the aggressor country Russia has intensified its attacks.Against this background, Kyiv is simply forced to import gas to compensate for this reduction in domestic production.According to insiders, Ukraines key gas production facilities are vulnerable to Russian attacks because they are located in the frontline Kharkiv region and neighboring Poltava region.
Ukraine has low gas reserves in storage, but with planned imports and its own gas production, it will be able to get through the heating season, which usually lasts from October to April, without limiting gas supplies to industry and the population.
In addition, it is emphasized that in the spring it is extremely important for Ukraine to begin pumping gas for the 2025/26 winter season and it is necessary to accumulate about 13 billion cubic meters.
