Kutas said the shortfall can be covered from gas storage facilities and there was no need to place restrictions on consumers.

Hungary received 30 million cubic metres of Russian gas via Ukraine on Monday, below the 38 million contracted level. The country will consume around 68-70 million cubic metres on Tuesday and storage facilities have capacity to pump 55 million cubic metres into the network per day, Kutas said.
