Ukraine has additionally earned $300 million due to an increase in transit supplies of Russian gas to the EU via the Ukrainian gas transmission system (GTS) in 2017 after the OPAL gas pipeline suspended its operation, according to CEO of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine Andriy Kobolev.
The national oil and gas holding Naftogaz of Ukraine has lodged a suit with the General Court of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) seeking cancellation of the European Commission’s decision on expanded access of Russia's gas monopoly Gazprom to the OPAL gas pipeline, delivering gas from Nord Stream pipeline to the Central European markets, according to Naftogaz press service.
