Ukraine will pass the winter for the first time at the expense of its own natural gas production. Oleksiy Chernyshov, the head of Naftogaz of Ukraine, stated this on the air of the telethon.

"I want to remind you that we are increasing our own production of gas, these indicators are growing. In 2023, Naftogaz drilled a record number of new wells, and we will continue this trend next year. We plan to spend this winter on gas produced in Ukraine, and our calculations confirm this possibility," said Oleksiy Chernyshov.

The head of Naftogaz is also convinced that the country's heating season will pass without upheavals not only in terms of gas supply but also in the stability of the price of gas for householders.

"We are absolutely confident about the upcoming winter. We have enough gas, and tariffs are stable. Therefore, I ask all consumers to ensure energy-efficient measures and to treat this type of energy responsibly. Because this is Ukrainian production, our joint achievement with you," urged the head of Naftogaz.

One may remind that Ukraine has prematurely achieved the goal of accumulating 14.7 bcm of gas in UGS.
