“The agreement allows all suppliers to freely transport blue fuel via a new supply route - from Southern Europe and Turkey - through Bulgaria and Romania - to Ukraine and further to Moldova,” the statement said.
As indicated, from January 1, at the interstate point Isakcha1-Orlovka1, the throughput will be available on the Ukraine-Romania route in the amount of 17.8 million cubic meters per day, and in the opposite direction - 15.8 million cubic meters.
It is noted that the previously signed agreement between the operators of the gas transportation systems of Ukraine and Romania did not allow gas transportation in the opposite direction and did not meet the European rules of interaction, since it was blocked by the current transit agreement between Naftogaz and Gazprom.
In early November, it was reported that Ukrtransgaz had modernized a gas metering station in the Odessa region, which would allow gas supplies from Moldova and Romania in the event of a gas transit interruption from Russia.
December 9, it became known that Poland and Ukraine agreed on a joint search and production of gas on Ukrainian territory.
