"We are ready at the beginning of August to sign direct contact between consumers of Ukraine and Gazprom, which will give a significant reduction in the cost of gas for our economy", - Interfax said Boyko.

In June, Andrei Gerus, a representative of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky in the Cabinet of Ministers, proposed a new way to purchase gas from Russia through a private company.

According to him, Boyko and the head of the political council of the party “Opposition Platform - For Life” Medvedchuk do not need a decision of the authorities to purchase gas, “they need to buy it, bring it to Ukraine and sell it”.

Stanislav Mitrakhovich, a senior lecturer at the Financial University under the Government of Russia, commented on this proposal to Gerus in an interview with the FBA Economy Today.
