Dmytro Firtash could supply up to two billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas to other industrial consumers in Ukraine, the businessman said at a press conference in Zaporizhia on Tuesday, March 19. 

“I can deliver from 1.5 to two billion cubic meters of gas. This is what I can do for them [other industrial consumers],” he said.

Firtash said that recently Naftogaz Ukrainy has applied to him asking to organize gas supplies to other industrial consumers in the first quarter, when Naftogaz uses large volumes of gas for the needs of heating enterprises and the public.

“There was a request to us to sell part of our volume on the market to help Naftogaz so that it would not buy an extra volume of gas but give gas to heating enterprises and the population,” he said.
