Background

On the territory of Ukraine, the Northern Lights stream is divided into three sections. The first of them is "Torzhok-Dolyna". At the end of this section, the gas is redistributed. The second one is "Dolyna-Uzhhorod". Its capacity is 17 billion cubic meters per year. In Uzhgorod, the gas is again divided and goes to the third section - Uzhgorod - Berehove. 13 billion cubic meters of gas pass through this pipeline every year.
