据俄罗斯油气网3月6日布鲁塞尔报道,普氏能源资讯报道称,乌克兰国家石油天然气公司(Naftogaz)一名高管6日在布鲁塞尔表示,一旦俄罗斯具有年输送550亿立方米天然气能力的北溪-2(Nord Stream 2)天然气管道连接到德国,乌克兰准备在2020年实现零俄罗斯天然气过境输送,但欧洲天然气供应安全届时将不会受到影响。
Naftogaz负责处理与俄罗斯能源巨头俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司(俄气/Gazprom)争端的常务董事尤里·维琴科在布鲁塞尔举行的一次会议上表示,这是因为俄罗斯可以利用欧洲设施储存的天然气来满足欧洲冬季需求高峰,而不是通过乌克兰输送少量的天然气。
他说:“当北溪-2天然气管道建成时,俄罗斯将没有必要使用乌克兰的天然气过境路线。”
俄罗斯计划在今年年底,也就是目前与乌克兰的天然气过境合同到期时,把北溪-2输气管道投入使用。维琴科说,在这种情况下,到2020年俄罗斯将不会通过乌克兰向欧洲输送天然气。

Ukraine readies for zero Russian natural gas transit in 2020
Neftegaz.RU. Ukraine is preparing for zero Russian gas transit flows in 2020 once Russia's 55 Bcm/year Nord Stream 2 gas link to Germany comes online, but European gas supply security will not be disrupted, a senior Naftogaz executive said, Platts reported.
This is because Russia could cover peaks in winter demand with gas stored in European facilities, for example, rather than by flowing small volumes via Ukraine, Naftogaz's executive director dealing with disputes with Gazprom, Yuriy Vitrenko, told an event in Brussels.
«When Nord Stream 2 is finished, there will be no need for Russia to use the Ukrainian route,» he said. Russia plans to bring Nord Stream 2 online by the end of the year, when its current transit contract with Ukraine expires. In this event «there will be no Russian gas transit through Ukraine in 2020,» Vitrenko said.
