Ukraine will ensure stable gas supply for its citizens and reliable transit of Russian gas to European countries. This was stated in Moscow by the head of the Ministry of Fuel and Energy of Ukraine, Yuriy Boyko.\n\n"We will not allow anything like last year's crisis, when entire cities were freezing," the minister said in an interview with Russian media.\n\nAccording to Boyko, "Naftogaz of Ukraine" plans to pump 24-24.5 billion cubic meters of fuel into underground gas storage facilities by October 15. "Also, European consumers of Russian gas should not worry," the minister stated, adding that "Ukraine is a reliable transit country for energy resources."\n\nThe head of the Ministry of Fuel and Energy of Ukraine also expressed confidence that the country has a favorable political climate for creating an international gas transportation consortium. "This is possible now, when a government of professionals has been created in Ukraine and the stoking of Russophobia has been stopped," Boyko is confident.\n\nRecall that in negotiations in Moscow, Boyko agreed with the leadership of "Gazprom" on covering the deficit of Ukraine's gas balance in the 4th quarter.\n\n
