“Apparently, this intermediary is an Estonian company.
Now we see the flow of gas from Russia to Estonia through the gas pipeline, which is located on the border of Estonia and Latvia.
It turns out that gas enters the territory of Estonia and further into the Latvian underground storage,” the analyst explained.
He noted that the repository in Latvia is one for the entire Baltic.
“And separately gas is exported from Estonia to Finland.
Most likely, Estonia is becoming a distribution hub,” Yushkov said.
The expert specified that the option of creating a subsidiary company from Latvijas Gaze is also possible.
“She can buy gas for rubles, but to save face, Latvijas Gaze says “but I don’t buy,” the analyst said.
Earlier, the Delfi portal reported that the main operator of the gas transmission system of Latvia, Latvijas Gaze, still buys Russian gas through an intermediary.
