Previously, Naftogaz reported that it would be enough gas in the underground storage facilities even if the March abnormal cold snap returns. Ukraine stopped buying the Russian gas in November 2015. Since then, it has been buying Gazprom’s gas, but through reversed supplies from Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. Naftogaz has paid to Gazprom to receive gas in March. However, the Russian holding returned the money to the Ukrainian company, because they failed to agree on a supplementary contract. As the deputy head of the board of Gazprom Alexander Medvedev said, for this reason Naftogaz has not been receiving gas directly from Gazprom since March 1.
