Gazprom supplies gas for Europe through Ukraine in the volume of 40.8 mln cubic meters per day via the Sudzha gas pumping station in Russia’s Kursk Region, a Gazprom representative told reporters, adding that the request for pumping through Sokhranovka had been rejected by the Ukrainian side.

"Gazprom supplies Russian gas for transit through Ukrainian territory in the volume confirmed by the Ukrainian side via the Sudzha gas pumping station of 40.8 mln cubic meters as of July 9. The request for the Sokhranovka gas pumping station has been rejected," he said. On Saturday, July 8, the pumping also equaled 40.8 mln cubic meters.
