“From January 1, 2020 there is a risk of disconnecting the transit of Russian gas to the EU through Ukraine due to the end of the transit contract for gas transportation and the lack of a new one,” RIA Novosti quoted PGNiG as saying.

It is noted that in this case, oil production in Poland, reserves in storage facilities, as well as import opportunities give a total of 25.6 billion cubic meters of gas per year at a rate of 19 billion.

Earlier it was reported that Russia and Ukraine, following the results of negotiations between the presidents of the two countries, Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky, could not reach final agreements on gas.
