As UNIAN reported earlier, on November 2, 2019, Ukraine stopped pumping natural gas into its USFs and switched to a mode of operation that involves taking gas to cover the 2019-2020 heating season demand.
Reserves by that date amounted to 21.76 bcm, while by the start of the previous heating season, they amounted to 17.2 bcm.
