According to him, the issues of new volumes of gas purchases from Russia for transit through the territory of Ukraine "should be resolved on market conditions and at market prices."

“We believe that the participation of German partners in such work is fully justified, taking into account the already outlined plans for decarbonization of the EU economy,” Miller emphasized.

He also noted that Gazprom is ready to increase transit through Ukraine with new purchases from Europe.

Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that the decision to extend the transit of Russian gas through the territory of Ukraine after 2024 should be made on the basis of economic profitability.
