“I believe that after the Ukrainian side removed the politicization of this issue and moved on to specifics, that is, to discussing market relations, everything immediately shifted from their places. Gazprom has long said that, let’s, we’ll talk about the contract, not politics. But, unfortunately, we have not been heard for many years. Now, fortunately, the situation has shifted and the possibility of a contract is being discussed, ”Ananskikh added.

The MP expressed the hope that the parties will be able to reach consensus in the near future.

Gazprom has been talking about this all the time and is ready to move in this direction. The main thing is that it is mutually beneficial, ”the parliamentarian concluded.

Vitrenko previously told RIA Novosti that the Russian and Ukrainian sides had previously agreed on gas transit.

He added that Russia and Ukraine are currently discussing specifics.
