KIEV, Nov. 23 Ukraine should be able to avoid severe gas disruptions this winter despite prolonged talks with Russia over a supply deal that has delayed the filling of storage tanks, the European Union's energy chief said on Monday, Reuters reported.
Tensions between Russia, Europe's biggest gas supplier, and Ukraine, the main transit route to the EU, have been high since Moscow's seizure of Crimea in March 2014.
Data from Gas Infrastructure Europe showed Ukraine's gas storage tanks were a little more than 53 percent full, up from about 46 percent around the same time a year ago.
