We do not plan to enter into any additional agreements or extend the agreement

According to Glushchenko, the government has no plans to sign any additional agreements or extend the Russian gas transit agreement. This position is supported by European Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson.

This position was voiced by the EU Commissioner for Energy. She said very clearly that Europe is not interested in continuing gas transit from Russia. We are moving in this direction.

The minister noted several aspects of this decision, including the fact that, according to the results of stress tests, Ukraine can exist without transit.

The physical aspect is the existence of the Ukrainian gas system. Can our gas transportation system exist without this transit? We have done a huge amount of relevant work, conducted stress tests of our system. They all proved that we can exist without transit
