They need this volume, "said Naftogaz Kerinik. According to Chernyshov, the EU stated that it will completely refuse to consume gas coming from the Russian Federation by 2027. "We see that certain processes have already taken place. The reduction goes with every next month. But we have to accelerate this process and stimulate it," Chernyshov said. He noted that Ukraine should be a reliable partner for our European partners, for countries that need it.

"But this agreement will end by the end of 2024, and we do not intend or initiative to continue it," the company chairman said.
