Ukraine offers its gas storage facilities to Azerbaijan

Denys Shmyhal, Minister of Energy of Ukraine, proposed during the Baku Energy Forum that Azerbaijan make use of Ukraine’s underground gas storage facilities, the largest in Europe, with a total capacity of around 30 billion cubic meters.

Ukraine has already been integrated into the upgraded Trans-Balkan route, through which Caspian gas can be transported to energy-deficient regions of Europe.

According to Shmyhal, the first test deliveries of Azerbaijani gas have confirmed the viability of the route.
