The Russian energy giant Gazprom has reported a steady volume of gas transit through Ukraine, routed via the Sudzha gas measuring station, totaling 40.8 million cubic meters per day. This figure reflects the daily flow confirmed by Gazprom’s press service and communicated to RBC, marking a notable level in the ongoing gas transit dynamics between Russia, Ukraine, and Europe. The Sudzha route continues to play a central role in delivering gas to European customers, with the latest data showing a daily movement of 40.8 million cubic meters through this facility. For context, the Ukrainian side previously reported delivering 40.8 million cubic meters per day as of mid-month, underscoring the close alignment between the two sides on observed volumes and the broader supply assurances to European buyers [Source: Gazprom press service].
Historical trends show that in 2022 the Sudzha corridor averaged about 41 to 42 million cubic meters per day. By early April 2023, Gazprom restored pumping to near the previous year’s pace in response to market conditions, notably rising gas prices within the European Union. However, by April 10 of the same year, the volume again dipped to around 37.4 million cubic meters per day, with a recovery to roughly 40 million cubic meters by April 12, illustrating the volatility and sensitivity of transit volumes to price signals and demand fluctuations in the EU market [Source: Gazprom press service].
Today, the Sudzha route remains the sole operational export corridor for Russian natural gas toward Central and Western European states through Ukraine. Since May 2022, Kyiv has consistently rejected requests to export gas via the Sokhranivka/Sokhrovka entry point, citing control concerns after the station came under the influence of Russian forces. This political and military backdrop continues to shape the sequencing of gas flows, with Sudzha maintaining its status as the primary conduit for shipments to a broad European customer base, while alternative routes faced operational and security constraints. Analysts note that the continued reliance on Sudzha underscores the intricate link between energy security, regional stability, and long-term supply arrangements for European buyers [Source: Gazprom press service].
In sum, Gazprom’s reported throughput through Sudzha at the current pace reflects both a restored operational tempo from earlier adjustments and a larger pattern of how European demand, price dynamics, and regional geopolitical developments influence the daily run rate of gas transported via Ukraine. Stakeholders monitor the figures closely as they inform capacity planning, contract fulfillment, and media narratives about energy resilience in the region. The public record from Gazprom and corroborating updates from Ukrainian officials together illustrate a shared, albeit evolving, picture of European energy supply through this critical transit point [Source: Gazprom press service].
