It is worth noting that over the past two months, Ukraine has been importing all natural gas from Slovakia.

According to the Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Volodymyr Demchyshyn, the fall in imports of natural gas in the first week of October was due to the fact that the "Naftogaz Ukraine" was in talks with European suppliers on reduction of prices.
