The EU wants the new Russia-Ukraine gas transit pact to be long term,

The EU wants the new Russia-Ukraine gas transit pact to be long term, Maroš Šefčovič, the European Commission vice president for energy, writes in letters to Gazprom and Naftogaz. Implicitly rejecting Russia’s offer last summer of a 1-year renewal of the 10-year pact, Šefčovič writes: “Ensuring long-term gas transit through Ukraine is key for European energy security.” With 3-way talks to start in Brussels next Thursday, he adds: “Only a long-term contract would ensure predictability and make it possible to renovate the Ukrainian gas pipeline.”
