“For us, this is an additional tool in the negotiations,” the diplomat said.
As the agency clarifies, in this way it answered the question about the attitude of the Ukrainian side to the sanctions that are being discussed in the US Congress.
According to Zerkal, "all routes should work in order to create commercial normal conditions for the functioning of the energy market, including gas."
Earlier in the United States, it was announced that Congress was going to include sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in the country's defense budget for 2020.
In mid-November, Naftogaz announced that Ukraine’s position in negotiations with Gazprom on gas transit was strengthened by the signing by the Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky of a law that would complete the process of creating an independent gas transmission system operator.
