Transit of Russian gas to Europe via Ukraine rises 27% in March

KIEV, Apr 6 (PRIME) -- The transit of Russian natural gas through Ukraine to Europe rose by 27% on the year to 3.7 billion cubic meters (bcm) in March thanks to low volumes of gas in the European underground storages and high demand in the region, Gas Transportation System Operator of Ukraine said in a statement on Tuesday.

In January–March, transit amounted to 10.441 bcm, 5% above the contracted amount, the company said.
