Two contracts will be needed for Russian gas to flow through Ukraine next year, Elena Zerkal, deputy foreign minister for European Integration writes on Facebook. One would be a Russian-Ukraine interconnection under EU energy law. The second contract would be a Naftogaz-Gazprom contract for gas transit services. Gazprom proposes simply rolling over the existing agreement for 10 years. Ukraine officials reject this, saying the current contract does not comply with EU law and does not set minimum flows.
