Russia will continue gas transit via Ukraine if makes economic sense

Russia will continue gas transit via Ukraine if makes economic sense, Russia’s President Putin said Friday at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Referring to the planned Nord Stream 2 Baltic Sea pipeline, he said: “I’ve already said this, and I want to say it again: we won’t be shutting off gas transit via Ukraine if this is economically feasible. We’re prepared for talks with our Ukrainian partners.”
