NATGAS: Orban Still Working on Ukraine Gas Transit Deal
NATGAS
Hungary is seeking a solution that would allow gas flows to Europe via Ukraine to continue once the current transit contract between Moscow and Kyiv expires, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Saturday.
- “We have not given up on our Ukraine transit plans,” Orban said.
- Further talks are still planned with both Russia and Ukraine to let the transit extend beyond 2024, he said without adding further details.
- Orban confirmed that switching the point of gas sales to the border between Russia and Ukraine is also under consideration.
- Even without Ukraine transit, Orban said Hungary will remain well supplied this year with flows from the Balkans.
