The average daily volume of gas pumping into the underground storage facilities amounts to almost 60 mcm, according to the report. 

As UNIAN reported earlier, according to Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Ukraine has 14.1 bcm of gas in underground storage facilities, while aiming at storing 18-19 bcm before the winter heating season begins in mid-October.

On July 1, Ukraine had suspended gas deliveries from Russia after fruitless talks in Vienna and significantly reduced its purchases from the EU. At this, Ukraine expects to mobilize enough funds from international financial organizations by September to secure necessary reserves in its underground gas storage facilities for the next heating season.
