Kiev says it has found an alternative to Russian gas

Deputy Energy Minister of Ukraine Maxim Nemchinov said that if the country has a shortage of gas, they will be able to buy it from Slovakia

“We have enough natural gas in storage now. I also want to stress that even in case of deficit, we have an opportunity to import it”, –  he said.

He also added that the estimated price of natural gas that Ukraine could buy at the end of winter was around 26,000 hryvnia (around $1,000) per thousand cubic meters.

It is worth noting that the price of gas will turn out to be right at the European level. This is perhaps a confirmation that “Ukraine is Europe”.
