Poland Still Receives Half of Russian Gas

"Over the past 24 hours, Russian gas deliveries via the Drozdovichi [gas distribution] point on the Polish-Ukrainian border were 7 million cu m," Joanna Zakrzewska, a spokeswoman of PGNiG.

So far it's evident that RosUkrEnergo is breaching the contract obligations.

Zakrzewska said last week that only 50% of agreed Russian gas supplies, transited via Ukraine to Europe, have reached Poland.

Under the contract with Swiss energy trader RosUkrEnergo, Poland should receive 14 million cubic meters of gas daily.

Poland confirmed on Wednesday the resumption of Russian gas deliveries transited via Ukraine.

Poland annually consumes some 14 billion cu m of natural gas, with 6.2 bcm imported from Russia. The country produces another 4.2 bcm itself and transits 30 bcm of gas to Germany.

RosUkrEnergo has declined to comment on the situation.
