LVIV, Sept 3 – Ukraine will probably continue to market its underground gas storage facilities to European companies even in the event of Russia suspending gas transit via Ukraine, Serhiy Pereloma, head of Ukrtransgaz, said Friday.

"When we talk about such a scenario, it is less technologically related to UGS facilities ... I do not agree that we will have empty UGS facilities. I believe that we will have to use them more actively, and make larger stocks to guarantee the passage of the heating season and stable supply to Ukrainian consumers," he said.
