Due to the interconnected nature of the European gas system, it is possible that some gas feeds through to the UK via Ukraine. Nevertheless, we estimate that these are small volumes, likely less than 1 per cent of total imports.<\/p>

Ukraine has proved through the gas dispute to date to be a reliable transit state.
