“Firstly, we have already signed a contract until 2024,” RIA Novosti Novak quotes.
According to him, “it is strange to talk about the terms of the new contract, because it is still more than 3.5 years before the execution of this contract”.
Earlier, Russian leader Vladimir Putin said that Russia is ready to extend the agreement on gas transit through the territory of Ukraine, but everything needs to be considered.
The press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov also told under what condition the Russian side will increase the transit of gas through Ukraine to the EU.
