When Russia restores the natural gas supply, the first volumes would be sent to Bulgaria, the CEO of the Ukrainian "Naftogaz" Oleh Dubyna stated on Wednesday.

The statement, quoted by the Bulgarian information agency BGNES, came as a reply to a question asked by the Bulgarian Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Vladko Panayotov.
Panayotov spoke during the meeting of the Foreign Policy Commission at the European Parliament in Brussels.

The MEP described the emergency situation in Bulgaria with schools closed over the lack of heat, chilly hospitals, and women, children and elderly people in dire need as in time of war.

The Ukrainian CEO explained that the technology time frame required to resume regular gas supply was 36 hours, adding that he hopped that experts could shorten the period.
