Naftogaz Ukrainy is forced to purchase gas at any price

The head of Naftogaz of Ukraine, Yuriy Vitrenko, said that the company is forced to buy gas at any price, since its own production is not enough, and they intend to raise funds on international markets, RIA Novosti reports.

“In any case, we will buy gas, because we do not have enough of our own production, at least until the consumption of all our customers decreases,” he said.

Earlier in "Naftogaz" reported that now the largest gas fields in Ukraine are devastated by 80%. The company said that they are working to increase their own production of "blue fuel", for this they use new technologies and management approaches, study and develop promising subsoil areas.

On December 22, Naftogaz Ukrainy complained to the European Commission about the Russian Gazprom. The Ukrainian side stated that it was Gazprom that was to blame for the fact that gas on European exchanges had risen in price at a record and continues to grow in price. Naftogaz asked the European Commission to oblige the Russian company to sell more gas through Ukraine.
