SLOVAKIA AND Ukraine have agreed a deal that will allow gas from Central Europe to reach Ukraine via Slovakia. Under the deal, Slovakia will reinstate a disused pipeline capable of supplying three billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas a year to Ukraine. Ukraine has been looking for alternatives to Russian gas, which last year accounted for around half its 55bcm consumption. In April, German energy firm RWE began deliveries of gas via Poland under a deal that will see it supply up to 10bcm of gas a year.
