The results of negotiations on the delivery of Russian gas to Ukraine was discussed on the meeting with Gazprom's chairman of the board Aleksei Miller and Industry and Energy Minister Viktor Khristenko.
The President emphasized that reaching an agreement on energy cooperation gives Russian-Ukrainian relations a new quality — they become transparent, market-based relations between partners.
Such relations allow the countries to cooperate effectively not only in the Ukrainian market, but also in the market of other countries. The agreement on transporting gas creates absolutely new and stable conditions for the delivery of Russian gas to Western Europe.
