This compares with an average daily withdrawal of 58 million cubic meters in the same month over the past three years, former Energy Minister Olha Buslavets reported.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"439\" data-end=\"611\">\u201cThe reason is not only gas imports, but also reduced consumption by combined heat and power plants (CHPs) due to the destruction of generating equipment,\u201d Buslavets noted.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"613\" data-end=\"934\">In recent days, Ukraine\u2019s net gas imports (taking into account re-exports by non-residents under the short-haul regime of up to 3 million cubic meters per day) have fluctuated in the range of 21\u201322 million cubic meters per day. Imports are coming from Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and in small volumes from Moldova\/Romania.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"936\" data-end=\"1267\">According to data from the European Aggregated Gas Storage Inventory (AGSI) platform, as of the end of the week Ukraine\u2019s gas storage facilities contained 11.6 billion cubic meters of natural gas, including 4.7 billion cubic meters of technological \u201cbuffer gas.\u201d This is 30% higher than last year, or 2.7 billion cubic meters more.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1269\" data-end=\"1521\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">At the same time, gas storage levels in Europe have fallen to 56.1 billion cubic meters, with storage facilities 52% full. This is 22% below the average of the past five years and 20% lower than last year\u2019s level, or about 14 billion cubic meters less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":150984,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-150983","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/150983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=150983"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=150983"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=150983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
