Russia Playing Games with Date for New Trilateral Gas Talks

Trilateral consultations on gas are to be hold in one of the European countries on 27 September. Russia's side says no date agreed for new gas talks.

According to Minister of Energy and Coal Industry of Ukraine Yurii Prodan, "The European Commission has proposed September 27, but the Russian side, as far as I know at this point, has not yet agreed to it."
