25 Quotes by Sergei Kupriyanov

On Dec. 31, we got a document from Turkmenistan saying that in line with our contract for January, they are shipping 141.7 million cubic meters per day. This volume is the maximum pipelines from Turkmenistan can carry. We were not aware of any gas going to Ukraine. That would have been impossible.

All our contracts are being carried out in full.

The official response has been received: Ukraine has turned down our offer.

If there is no contract, gas delivery to Ukraine's users will be stopped at 10 o'clock in the morning on January 1.

In this situation, which is the fault of the Ukrainian side, we have been forced to start reducing pressure in the pipeline to Ukraine.

However, we will not put Ukrainian people into a difficult situation.

For the first five days of this week, Ukraine siphoned off nearly 400 million cubic meters of gas. This is a very large volume, which is comparable to our supplies for Germany for three days.
