Even after Ukraine halted natural gas purchases from Russia in November, Gazprom plans to resume and maintain exports to its eastern neighbor for at least three more years.

While the government in Kiev vowed to cut its energy reliance on its former Soviet ally, Moscow-based Gazprom PJSC plans to deliver the equivalent of as much as 41 percent of Ukraine’s demand last year through 2018, according to its non-public budget approved in December and obtained by Bloomberg News.
