Gazprom promised to fill the current 10 percent shortfall in gas flows from Russia to Italy by the end of the week, the head of communications at Italian oil and gas group Eni said Wednesday.
Gazprom deputy chief executive Alexander Medvedev has given reassurances that the 10 percent gas flow shortfall will be met before next weekend, Gianni di Giovanni said in a television interview.
Italy introduced a series of emergency measures Monday to offset the impact of reduced natural gas imports from Russia as a cold spell sent Italian gas demand to record highs. Italy expects to inject 94.2 million cubic meters of gas from Russia into the network Wednesday, compared with the 108.3 mcm requested, according to gas transport network Snam.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
