Ukraine has almost zero Gas. It largely came from Crimea and Russian pipelines. Outside of that possibly a few potential reserves, but they're insignificant in comparison to the other sources of Crimea, and Gazprom.
My understanding is that they do have gas, that their pipeline was called SOuth Stream, that they had a contract with Russia to build it and maintain it. Most of that comes from Wikipedia which isn't always the best source, but what source is honest or unbiased these days?
Shale largely. Black Sea. Most countries have some Gas and can frack for more. There are always potential finds. But it's relatively marginal by all former comparisons. Their output cannot even sustain their demands, they import a 1/3. I don't think the WIKI is wrong there.
I think a lot of vultures swooped in, utilities are so profitable, constant demand, and always increasing bills, easy money.

They seemingly import even more than they produce. Of course it doesn't stop profiteers.
