If Ukraine's deliveries drop by 8 million cubic meters on Monday, gas from commercial reserves can compensate for the shortfall, Molnár said. Hungary's gas consumption is expected to be 70 million – 74 million cubic meters on Monday, up from 64 million cubic meters on Sunday, he added.

Molnár said he had informed the prime minister of the situation.

A meeting of a gas supply crisis committee has been called for Monday afternoon. If necessary, appropriate measures will be taken. (MTI – Econews)
