Ukrainian Energy Ministry Says Russia Made No Acceptable Proposals on Gas at Talks

2014/09/30

KIEV, September 30 (RIA Novosti) – The Ukrainian Energy Ministry said Tuesday it had received no “acceptable proposals” from Russia during last week's gas talks with Moscow and the European Commission.


During the three-party talks in Berlin last Friday, Russia and the European Commission voiced their support for the “Winter Plan,” a package of measures to be in place until late March and intended to reduce risks for transit of Europe-bound Russian gas via Ukraine.


“During the talks that took place on September 26, the Ukrainian side received no acceptable proposals from Russia on this package. Experts of [state oil and gas company] Naftogaz of Ukraine and the Ministry of Energy and Coal Industry are currently studying protocols of proposals sent by the European Commission in the wake of the September 26 talks,” the ministry said in a statement.
