“I constantly repeat that we are ready to maintain Ukrainian transit, we are currently negotiating this in Vienna, this is no secret. True, the conditions offered by the Ukrainian possible transit countries are not economically acceptable for us so far, ”the head of state said.
As Putin emphasized, he expects that "it will be possible to somehow agree on the position."
Earlier, the situation with gas transit through Ukraine was commented by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
He noted that the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline weakened Kiev’s position in transit negotiations.
He also said that the relevant issue could be considered in the framework of the meeting of the "Norman Four" on December 9.
