MOSCOW--Russia's gas giant Gazprom said Wednesday that there was still a risk that Europe could have supplies of Russian gas piped via Ukraine cut this winter.
"The transit risks in Ukraine remain this winter, since Ukraine due to financial difficulties was not able to buy the necessary volume of Russian gas in November and December last year and significantly reduced its reserves of gas in underground storage," Gazprom chief Alexei Miller was cited as saying in a statement after meeting the new European Commissioner for Energy Union, Maros Sefcovic.
