Ukraine’s biggest energy company is looking to strike more deals with European gas traders to boost fuel storage this year, despite recent Russian attacks on its gas infrastructure.
So far, none of the foreign traders currently storing gas in Ukraine have walked back their decisions, said Oleksiy Chernyshov, chief executive officer of NJSC Naftogaz Ukrainy, in an interview in Kyiv. The company is continuing to service customers and fix equipment damaged in recent missile attacks.
