As RIA Novosti writes with reference to the data, from 8:00 to 9:00 almost 400 thousand cubic meters passed through the pipe.

After that, the value dropped to 28.8 thousand cubic meters, from 10:00 the pumping stopped.

In addition, the gas pipeline went into reverse mode - from west to east, the agency specifies.

RBC reports that Polish consumers receive gas through the pipeline not only directly from Russia, but also through a “virtual reverse” from Germany, actually taking it from the transit flow.

If the application for a virtual reverse exceeds the physical flow, then the gas pipeline can go into reverse mode, the newspaper notes.

The gas pipeline passes through the territory of Russia, Belarus, Poland and Germany, its length exceeds 2 thousand km.

Yamal - Europe can pump up to 33 billion cubic meters of gas per year.

At the same time, the Polish section of the gas pipeline (its length is 683 km) is operated by the gas transmission operator Gaz-System, it is owned by EuRoPol Gaz.
