Gazprom to ensure full gas supplies to all customers even at minus 25 degrees in all of European Russia - CEO

PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY. Oct 17 (Interfax) - Gazprom will ensure full gas supplies to all customers in the fall and winter heating season even given freezing temperatures of minus 25 degrees Celsius in all of the European part of Russia, the gas giant's CEO, Alexei Miller said in an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin on the "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin" program TV channel Rossiya 1.

"We ensure getting through the fall and winter maximum. And, of course, the main objective is for the country not to feel this fall and winter maximum whatever the temperature, however low it is," Miller said.

"And Gazprom is creating transport capacity. Just think about it, for an average temperature of minus 25 degrees throughout the whole European part of the country. And we fully supply all the needs of our customers," Miller said.
