MOSCOW, January 8. /TASS/. Gazprom supplies gas for Europe through Ukraine in the volume of 40.5 mln cubic meters per day via the Sudzha gas pumping station in Russia’s Kursk Region, a Gazprom representative told reporters.

"Gazprom supplies Russian gas for transit through Ukrainian territory in the volume confirmed by the Ukrainian side via the Sudzha gas pumping station of 40.5 mln cubic meters as of January 8. The request for the Sokhranovka gas pumping station has been rejected," a Gazprom representative told reporters. On Sunday, January 7, the pumping also equaled 40.5 mln cubic meters.

Earlier it was reported on the website of the Gas Transmission System Operator of Ukraine (GTSOU) that gas transit through Ukrainian territory might total around 40.5 mln cubic meters on January 8.

The transit line through Ukraine remains the only route to supply Russian gas to western and central European countries. The pumping through Nord Stream has been fully suspended.
