Ukraine had 12.7 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas in storage as of July 28 compared with 13.01 bcm at the same date in 2017, data from gas transport operator UTG showed on Monday.

Ukraine is seeking to store at least 17 bcm of gas in readiness for the winter season which starts in mid-October, the government said last week. For the past heating season from October to April, Ukraine had 16.8 bcm of gas in reserve. Ukraine consumed 32.2 bcm of gas in 2017 and imported 14.1 bcm.

Ukraine, which used to rely on Russian gas imports has not bought gas directly from Russia since November 2015 and instead now imports from Europe.
