The possibility of Ukraine buying Azeri gas through interconnector pipelines

The possibility of Ukraine buying Azeri gas through interconnector pipelines was raised by President Poroshenko when he met with Rovnag Ibrahim Abdullayev, president of Socar. The president of Azerbaijan’s state oil company came to Kyiv to participate in Friday’s inaugural session of the National Investment Council of Ukraine. Separately, Prime Minister Groysman said Tuesday that the purpose of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline project is “to destroy [Ukraine’s] independent gas transport system.”
