Ukraine currently has approximately 15.8 billion cubic meters of gas in storage, exceeding an earlier goal of 14.6 billion cubic meters ahead of winter. The ministry also highlighted an option for \"prompt termination of exports\" if there is a supply threat or domestic market crisis. The move comes as European gas prices reach recent highs, with the month-ahead Dutch TTF gas price at €81.63/megawatt-hour on October 9, 152% higher than a year earlier.",
