Russian gas giant Gazprom PJSC has started providing Hungary with additional volumes requested by Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government to address winter energy supply concerns, according to a Foreign Ministry official in Budapest.

Effective Friday, Gazprom stepped up flows to Hungary by 2.6 million cubic meters a day for the rest of August using the TurkStream pipeline running through the Balkans, Foreign Ministry State Secretary Tamas Menczer said in a Facebook post on Saturday. Talks continue about additional volumes for September, he said.
