NATGAS: Ukraine Ready for Azerbaijani Gas Transit: Zelenskiy

NATGAS

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said his country was ready to transit Azerbaijani natural gas to Europe and a contract could be inked quickly if an agreement can be reached in comments on Saturday.

  • “We can use our infrastructure” to transit the Azerbaijani gas, Zelenskiy in vague comments.
  • “We can sign a contract quickly if there is political will,” Zelenskiy added, saying he was waiting for a “signal” from Slovakia and other countries.
  • Zelenskiy also said he met Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Davos last week, with gas supplies one of the topics.
  • Efforts were made to try and arrange such a deal late last year to avoid the end of Ukraine gas transit to Europe, but parties failed to reach an agreement.
