The average daily volume of gas pumped into the underground storage facilities increased up to 85 mcm last week compared to the previous week with 7 mcm, the company said.

Naftogaz CEO Andriy Kobolev expects to pump more than 17 bcm of natural gas reserves in underground storage facilities by end of October that will allow the country to comfortably spend the heating season.

Prior to the launch of the heating season of 2015-2016, Ukraine on October 13 started importing natural gas from all current supplier countries.
