“Zelensky’s statement is an echo of the Norman meeting and one-on-one negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. There are international obligations between the countries and the transit of Russian gas is necessary for Europe. Gas transit through Ukraine is very important, especially with forecasts for January and February. This is also important for Kiev, taking into account the fact that this is a replenishment of the budget, ”the deputy said.

Earlier Zelensky expressed confidence that a contract for the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine would be concluded.

The President noted that such a contract is important not only for Ukraine, but also for Europe.
