File photoMOSCOW, April 30Applications for the transit of Russian pipeline gas through Ukraine and reverse supplies via the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline from Germany to Poland on April 30 are almost at the level of the previous three days, that is, higher than the volumes before the suspension of Gazprom's exports to Bulgaria and Poland, which may indicate on the redistribution of Russian gas flows in Europe, data from gas transmission systems show. Gazprom on April 27 suspended gas exports from the Bulgarian company Bulgargaz and the Polish PGNiG due to non-payment of supplies under the new scheme in rubles. However, this only led to a redistribution of gas flows from Russia: an increase in supplies along the Uzhgorod corridor towards Slovakia and an increase in the reverse from Germany to Poland, where the latter buys Russian gas, but now from German suppliers. Thus, applications for pumping through Ukraine through the Sudzha station «and Sokhranovka» from Russia — formed on the basis of demand in Europe — as of April 30, amount to 69.5 million cubic meters, which is 10.5% and 6.3% higher than the pumping for April 28 and 29. But the day before Gazprom suspended deliveries to Poland and Bulgaria, on April 26, transit through the Ukrainian route was almost a quarter lower (56 million cubic meters), and on April 27 it amounted to 48.7 million cubic meters. At the same time, pumping through the GIS increased » Uzhhorod» on the border of Slovakia and Ukraine. If on April 26 it was 38.8 million cubic meters, then on April 27 and 28 it was already close to 57 million, according to the data of the Slovak operator Eustream. million cubic meters per day, which is more than 5 times higher than the level on April 26, before the suspension of gas supplies to Poland by Gazprom, follows from Gascade data. As the company itself noted the day before, Warsaw announced that it no longer needs Russian gas, but now it is buying it from Germany and the volume of reverse through Yamal-Europe almost exactly corresponds to the applications under the contract with Gazprom Export in previous days.
Volodin supported the suspension of gas supplies to some European countries
