Two top German officials called Wednesday for Russian gas transit to continue across Ukraine into the 2020s. Foreign Minister Gayko Maas told reporters in Kyiv: “We support negotiations regarding gas transit through Ukraine. We believe that transit should continue after 2019.” Steffen Seibert, Germany’s government spokesman, told Interfax-Ukraine: “We are doing what we can do to solve this problem. The German position is that after the launch of the Nord Stream 2 gas transit through Ukraine should remain.”
