Ukraine went through the winter on domestically produced gas. This was announced by Oleksiy Chernyshov, Chairman of the Board of Naftogaz of Ukraine.
"This is a historic event. No one would have believed it 10 years ago. Two years ago, when the full-scale war started, it was also hard to believe. But we did it and we plan to maintain the trend of Ukraine's energy independence in the future," he wrote on Facebook.
On the eve of the winter season, Chernyshov reported that 16 billion cubic metres of gas were stored in Ukrainian underground storage facilities. He noted that Ukraine continues its own gas production and has a "historic chance" to do without imports this winter.
Chernyshov also assured that Ukrainian gas and oil production would increase.
