Ukraine must prepare for a hard winter. Yury Korolchuk, an expert at the Institute of Energy Strategies, spoke about how the termination of the transit of Russian gas on Channel 24 will affect the energy market of Ukraine.
What does gas transit give us
The expert explained that the transit gas passing through Ukraine to Europe created pressure in the system. At the same time, our country took it for its needs and distributed it among consumers. And already in winter, it raised gas from underground storage facilities and compensated Europe.
That is, according to Yuri Korolchuk, if the transit of Russian gas stops, we will not be able to take it for our own needs. Then we will have to, relatively speaking, turn the pipe from West to East and pump gas from underground storage facilities, and this is a problem.

Which regions will suffer the most
< p> As Korolchuk explained, some regions of Ukraine have poorly developed gas distribution systems. Therefore, a problem may arise in order to deliver gas directly to the population.
If transit stops, then, according to the expert, the South and South-East of Ukraine will become problematic, in particular:
- Odessa,
- Kherson,
- Nikolaev,
- Kirovograd,
- Dnepropetrovsk region.
At the same time, the West of Ukraine will be in a better situation, because there will be pressure from underground storage facilities. When the gas rises, there will be enough pressure to reach the consumer.
