According to him, Gazprom, Naftogaz and the operator of the gas transmission system of Ukraine take part in the negotiations.

“Now they are discussing at the corporate level those issues that are on the agenda,” Novak quoted Interfax as saying.

On November 29, the Ukrainian side announced that Russia and Ukraine began agreeing on the text of an agreement on the interaction of GTS operators, which is needed to continue gas transit.

As the Russian leader Vladimir Putin later noted, in the negotiations on transit, both sides have heard unrealizable demand positions.
