据道琼斯基辅10月16日消息,俄罗斯国家天然气公司Gazprom周一重新开始向乌克兰输送天然气,今年7月份俄气中断了向乌克兰输送天然气,此举降低了欧洲其他国家今冬出现天然气供应中断的风险。
俄气首席执行长米勒表示,在乌克兰支付了10月份总共5亿美元的预付款中的2.34亿美元后,天然气输送得以恢复。乌克兰能源部长Volodymyr Demchyshyn向国际文传电讯社确认,供气已经在周一上午恢复。

Gazprom Restarts Gas Deliveries to Ukraine
By LAURA MILLS
KIEV, Ukraine--Russian state natural-gas company PAO Gazprom resumed deliveries to Ukraine on Monday, after halting exports in July, reducing the risk of disruption to supplies to the rest of Europe this winter.
Deliveries were resumed after Ukraine paid $234 million of a total $500 million prepayment expected for gas in October, Gazprom chief executive Alexei Miller said. Ukrainian Energy Minister Volodymyr Demchyshyn confirmed to Interfax news agency that deliveries had resumed early on Monday.
