Before the onset of the burning season, Ukraine plans to accumulate 14.6 billion cubic meters in underground storage facilities (USG).. m of gas. At the moment the critically necessary minimum is 13.2 billion cubic meters. First Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Energy Denis Shmigal announced this on Telegram on Thursday, 9th quarter. It was confirmed that a meeting of the Crisis Committee was held with the participation of representatives of companies in the burning and energy sector. The necessary gas pipes have been confirmed. " Also, looking at the situation, the forecast may change to a safe situation. Our guideline is the lack of evidence of the previous burning seasons: the availability of natural gas in the PSG is not less than 13.2 billion cubic meters. m of gas for the cob of the season. To allow a stable winter to pass is due to the low temperatures and massive attacks. Thus, 13.2 billion cubic meters. m is designated as a critically necessary minimum,” wrote Shmigal. In other words, for the stable passage of the upcoming autumn-winter period, key tasks will be abandoned: the current contracting of import supplies of natural gas; pumping the resource up to the PSG during the period of lowest market prices; diversification of delivery routes. Shmigal said that Naftogaz and the GTS Operator of Ukraine are already working to protect possible efforts for the import of natural gas and the continuation of route products of the Vertical Gas Corridor. “With respect, at the hour of the meeting, preparations for the repair campaign were added. Coordinated activities to formulate equipment reserves for the execution of planned, unplanned and emergency operations. Satisfaction of basic needs is ensured in close collaboration with international partners and donors,” indicating the order.

We noted that preparations for the upcoming burning season are already worrying, and the key priority is the increased energy resilience of Ukraine. Apparently, on February 10, Ukraine completed its gas collection season, which became one of the shortest in history. Gas reserves reached 9.5 billion cubic meters, 1.6 times more than last year. It was also reported that since then, Russia has attacked the infrastructure of the Naftogaz group nearly 40 times.
