Russian natural gas transit to Europe via Ukraine is continuing as normal despite the war, and Moscow is still paying in “hard currency” for the trans-shipment services, the head of Ukraine’s largest state-owned oil and gas company said.
Fuel deliveries will continue as long as it’s “technically possible,” Yuriy Vitrenko, chief executive officer of NJSC Naftogaz Ukrainy, said in a Bloomberg TV interview, adding that he was speaking from a bunker as Russia continued shelling a number of sites in Ukraine.
