As of today, there are objective and subjective reasons for cutting reverse gas supplies to Ukraine, Ukrainian Energy and Coal Industry Minister Yuriy Prodan said.
Prodan said that to reporters in
Brussels following his meeting with European Energy Commissioner Gunther
Oettinger.
Technical difficulties are among objective reasons and legal issues
of Russia’s Gazprom regarding European partners are among subjective
ones, he said.
At the same time, Oettinger expressed readiness to help Ukraine with expanding reverse gas supplies, Prodan said.
“It [the European Commission] has all instruments necessary for this,” the minister said.
