KYIV, July 6 – The Gas Transmission System (GTS) of Ukraine is ready to work in conditions of "zero" transit, head of the GTS Operator of Ukraine Serhiy Makogon has said.

We have always been preparing for a 'zero' transit scenario, since we already had precedents in 2006 and 2009, when the Russians turned off the taps on their territory. Our system can work without transit. Yes, it will be a non-standard, non-project mode, but we were preparing for this," he said at a briefing at the Ukraine Media Center on Wednesday.
