Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak told Lusti that gas reserves in the EU's underground storage facilities are at historically low levels. They are now about 82.1 billion cubic meters - this is the minimum since 2013 and 9.4 billion cubic meters less than last year's figures. A day earlier, the head of Gazprom, Alexey Miller, admitted that in the event of a cold winter, gas prices in Europe could reach 2.5 thousand dollars per thousand cubic meters.
