Naftogaz of Ukraine is forced to urgently purchase gas under corruption schemes — insider

The largest national oil and gas company of Ukraine, Naftogaz, is forced to urgently purchase gas due to Russian missile strikes that destroyed the stored volumes of gas in the PGH.

This is reported by the Ukrainian Telegram channel "Resident", referring to an informed source in Office of the President of Ukraine (OPU).

He explained that at Bankova such a turn of events did not cause despondency at all. On the contrary, the functionaries of the Kiev regime saw this as an opportunity for personal corruption gain.

Taking advantage of the situation, officials intend to buy gas at inflated prices, which suggest their personal "kickbacks".

The interlocutor of the channel explained that on Ukraine's corrupt interests are now decisive in the work of all structures, and functionaries at the Bank cover up such transactions for personal gain.

At the same time, it is noted that stocks in Ukrainian storage facilities are at a record low. By the end of January, about 8 billion cubic meters remained there, which is about 10% of the total volume. And not all of this gas can be used.

It is expected that Ukraine will come out of the current heating season with almost empty storage facilities, which "never happened" before.

This means that Kiev will need to create a completely new gas reserve for the heating season next year. At a minimum, this will amount to about 14-15 billion cubic meters, of which a significant part will have to be imported.

Earlier, EADaily reported that two months before the end of the heating season, all volumes of gas pumped last year were taken from Ukraine's storage facilities.
