Russia, Ukraine agree to hold three-sided gas talks
Russia and Ukraine have agreed to hold three-sided gas talks on September 6, but the two are waiting for the European Commission to agree as well, NRCU says referring to the RF Energy Minister Alexandr Novak report.
«The talks are to be held on September 6 and now we are waiting for the European Commission’s response. Everything depends on the European Commission’s plans. We agreed on this date with Ukraine back in Minsk,» Novak admitted. Asked what the likelihood was that the meeting would take place in this timeframe, he said that everyone is interested in renewing gas shipments so that there are no problems with gas supplies in the winter. In addition, he noted that at a meeting with Oettinger the transfer of the acceptance point of Russian gas to European consumers had not been discussed.
