This was reported by the Hungarian gas transmission system operator FGSZ Ltd, the "UNIAN" informed.

According to the Hungarian operator, average daily gas supplies in November decreased twice compared to that in October – 4.5 million cubic meters. Since the beginning of the year, natural gas supplies to Ukraine from the territory of Hungary amounted to 1.034 billion cubic meters.
