The Kremlin spoke about the absence of negotiations on the extension of gas transit through Ukraine

As Peskov emphasized, negotiations with Kiev on the transit issue are a secondary issue, first of all, Russian gas needs to be sold to someone.

“With regard to transit matters, of course, the question should be addressed to Gazprom.

I just want to remind the statement of President Putin that in order to transit something, you need to sell it, you need to have final buyers in Europe, for whom this transit will be carried out in the end, ”he said.

Earlier, the head of the company "Naftogaz of Ukraine" Yuriy Vitrenko said that there is "not even a hint" of negotiations on the conclusion of an agreement on the transit of Russian gas.

In October, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said that Russia and Germany are holding consultations on gas transit through Ukraine after 2024.
