“To transport something through Ukraine, you need someone to buy it, and these are our customers in Europe,” said Peskov.
In this regard, according to him, the main addressee of Kiev for resolving the issue of maintaining transit "are gas buyers in Europe, European companies", since they can conclude a new long-term agreement with the Russian side with increased volumes.
“The President has repeatedly said that if they continue to buy our gas, if they increase contracts and if Ukraine gives competitive commercial offers, then all this will continue to work,” he added.
Earlier, Peskov announced the politicization of claims against Russia on the topic of gas transit.
