EC expects a long-term solution for gas supplies through Ukraine

“We hope to advance in this debate during the next meeting, which is scheduled for the third week of October,” Shefchovich said.

He noted that a search is currently underway for a long-term solution that is acceptable to all parties.

Earlier, the deputy head of the European Commission on the Energy Union, Marosh Shefchovich, said that during the trilateral consultations on gas in the Russia-EU-Ukraine format, which launched on September 19 in Brussels, there was a "very positive and constructive atmosphere."
