In a statement, the firm said: “The company increased its gas exports to the countries beyond the FSU to 145.8bcm, which is the second-highest amount for nine months in the entire history of supplies (compared to 149.2bcm in 2018). This is higher than the figure for the same period of 2020 by 15.3% (or by 19.3bcm).”
