OREANDA-NEWS. The representative of the President of Ukraine in the government, Andrei Gerus, said that in the near future we can expect negotiations with Moscow on gas supplies and gas transit.

 Earlier in the Russian Cabinet called the conditions for the preservation of gas transit through Ukraine.  According to the first deputy head of the government’s office, Sergei Prikhodko, the supply of fuel along this route will continue after 2019 in the event of a fair settlement of legal disputes between Gazprom and Naftogaz.

 According to the director of the Ukrainian state-owned company Yuri Vitrenko, a technical consultation should be held in Moscow, which should also be attended by experts from the European Commission to help prepare a draft operator agreement.

 Vitrenko said that the meeting will have a positive impact on the discussion of options for capacity reservation between Gazprom and the operator of the Ukrainian GTS.

 On July 19, it became known that the Naftogaz company agreed with the proposed vice-president of the European Commission, Maros Shefchovich, with the transit option of the Russian times and is ready for its implementation with Russia's consent.

 This is should talk about the operator agreement for pumping 90 billion cubic meters annually and the agreement on the reservation of additional capacity of 60 billion cubic meters each year on average for ten years, wrote Vitrenko on Facebook.
