The International Monitoring Commission observers in Kiev – Julius Skach (SPP a.s.), Sergey Bazaleyev (Gazprom export), Peter Zahorsky (Estrim), Alain Rossignol (Gaz de France Suez), Roberto Merlo (EU) – have signed a GMS Hourly Report (Form 1), which indicates no sign of Russian gas being pumped by the Ukrainian transit pipelines to Europe. Meanwhile, at the Sudja gas metering station (Kursk Oblast) the monitors have recorded a 70 atmospheres pressure at the entry point of the Ukrainian gas transmission system.

A similar Hourly Report (Form 1A), which also confirms that no gas is being pumped westwards, has been signed by the International Monitoring Commission observers Johann Haumer (OMV) and Oleg Antonov (Gazprom export) at the Uzhgorod  gas metering station.
