Zelenskiy Says Ukraine Discussing Transit of Azeri Gas to EU
- Russian gas still flows through nation’s pipeline despite war
- Transit deal will expire end of 2024, sparking supply concerns
Ukraine is in talks to send natural gas from Azerbaijan to the European Union as it seeks to maintain its role as a transit country and help western neighbors ensure energy security, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said.
A deal to replace Russian gas with Azeri supplies is “one of the proposals” currently being discussed, Zelenskiy said in an interview with Bloomberg Television in Kyiv Wednesday. “It’s the cabinet officials who are dealing with this now.”
