In a June 29 report published in The Moscow Times, Anatoly Medetsky writes: Gazprom will use its planned South Stream pipeline to carry a third of its gas exports to Europe by 2015, chief executive Alexei Miller said Friday in an apparent warning to Ukraine, which now handles the bulk of the transit.
Citing Miller, the leading English language newspaper in Moscow added: Gazprom and Italy’s Eni recently agreed to expand the capacity of South Stream, which will run under the Black Sea, covering 35 percent of Gazprom’s exports to that region.
