On 19 September in Brussels, Russia, Ukraine and the European
Commission held trilateral gas talks at a political level on the
long-term transit of Russian gas via Ukraine to Europe as of next year
with both sides agreeing in principle that a future contract should be
based on EU law, European Commission Vice President for Energy Union Maroš Šefčovič
said, adding that Ukraine is gradually implementing EU energy rules. He
also noted that Russian gas monopoly Gazprom is well acquainted with
them in its commercial relations.
The Commission wants to secure reliable and uninterruptible Russian gas transit through Ukraine into EU countries. The current gas transit contract between Ukraine’s Naftogaz and Gazprom is valid until the end of December 2019. In 2018, 40% of gas supplied by Russia to the EU was delivered within this contract.
