) for ... support for sovereignty, for their statements that Russia cannot be allowed to use Nord Stream 2 as a weapon, and Ukraine, even after the current of the gas transit contract must remain a transit party.
True, we did not hear an interesting thing: how the parties will try to ensure this.
We did not hear the specifics demanded by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, ”Nikiforov says.
Zelensky previously said that Kiev needs guarantees of stable gas supply for 10-15 years after the launch of Nord Stream 2 and asked Biden and Merkel in the negotiations not to make decisions on Ukraine without Kiev's participation.
Following the talks, the US President and the German Chancellor announced that they had disagreements over the pipeline. At the same time, both sides agreed that Ukraine should retain the status of a gas transit country.
