Ukraine runs the risk of entering the spring season with recordly low gas reserves, and Naftogaz is forced to purchase fuel at high prices instead.

This was stated by People's Deputy, First Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Energy Alexei Kucherenko.

" I ask a rhetorical question. You all understand that this will fall on his financial condition. Yes. For the cost of this gas and all this will fall out later in the price of gas for consumers, ”he emphasized.

He added that the main failure of the company was the torn program "

“For if we would now have 20 billion cubic meters of the production of Neftegazovsky and five more private ones, as it was for the 19th year, there are about 5 cubic meters of billion cubic meters there, we would have 25 billion cubic meters. And now we consume 19-20, we would not have problems at all, ”Kucherenko emphasized.

The situation with gas reserves also causes serious concerns.

According to the deputy, gas reserves will be enough until March, but they will be a record minimum. Separately, he emphasized that in the event of a deficit, industrial enterprises will be the first to suffer, which will affect the economy.

"

In addition, the threat of gas security is created by Russian attacks on infrastructure.

"

Recall that last month Russia attacked the gas infrastructure of Ukraine. Energy Minister German Galushchenko said that Russian attacks are greatly affected by prey.
