The EC invited Russia and Ukraine to hold a meeting on gas in September

This was reported by TASS with reference to a statement by the official representative of the European Commission, Anna-Kaisa Itkonen.

“We invited Russia and Ukraine to hold a trilateral gas meeting in the week of September 16-22. We are waiting for an answer, ”she said.
