Tymoshenko: Gas transit to the EU countries is possible only if Russia provides process gas transit


Since January 1 this year Ukraine directed its own process gas to provide more stable gas transit to Europe. Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko told a briefing on the outcomes of talks with Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek. “By today’s estimate this is above 70 million cubic meters of gas which Ukraine transported to stabilize the transit,” Yulia Tymoshenko stressed.

The Prime Minister of Ukraine also stated that transit to Europe is possible only if the Russian Federation provides it with process gas.

Yulia Tymoshenko assured that Ukraine would pay for this process gas after a contract of gas supplies and transit within the context of transit cost to be signed, “As soon as agreements are signed, Ukraine pays for the process gas”.
