"At the moment reverse deliveries from Europe enter Ukraine at two points: Drozdovichy, on the Polish border, and Berehove, on the frontier with Hungary. In fact, for January-July 2013 Ukraine imported 0.92 billion cubic meters (bcm) via reverse flows, although this remains a small fraction of the country’s total gas imports (which were 12.07 bcm over the same period.).
Moreover, this mechanism has been successfully used inside the EU energy market as well. European countries are gradually beginning to reduce Gazprom’s monopolistic weight, actively approaching energy diversification building new capacities enabling reverse transportation of gas and revamping existing infrastructure. All these measures are being taken in the face of strong Russian opposition, as the Kremlin views the reversal mechanism to be illegal.
