Ukraine is currently in talks with its European partners about their need for gas transit after the contract is completed.
This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, Censor.NET reports.
"Ukraine will not extend the gas transit contract with Russia. This is our principled position. At the same time, we are talking to our European partners about their need for transit after the contract is completed, and we are waiting for the EU's position," the Prime Minister said.
According to Shmyhal, the government understands how to provide all consumers in Ukraine with gas now and in the coming years.
