Five Ukrainian cities will remain without gas after the launch of Nord Stream 2

This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the company's statement.

“As a result (of the gas pipeline launch -

), five cities on the Ukrainian-Russian border will immediately lose gas supply, and Ukraine's ability to import gas from European countries will be significantly limited,” the company said.

It is also reported that there is a risk that the Ukrainian route "will finally lose transit volumes of Russian gas."

Earlier, the Ukrainian GTS Operator said that the Ukrainian side would lose its virtual reverse after the launch of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
