MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russia is ready to sell gas directly to any Ukrainian company – not only Naftogaz – at a market price, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said in an interview with the RBC news outlet.
On Friday, Moscow and Kiev signed a protocol of an agreement on continuing gas transit and settling existing disputes during negotiations in Minsk.
The minister also stressed that the volumes of gas transit, fixed in the reached agreement, were the minimum ones and, in fact, the transit may be much higher.
Novak expressed Russia’s readiness to consider possible participation in modernizing the Ukrainian gas transportation system.
The Russian-Ukrainian protocol envisages delivering 65 billion cubic meters (over 2 trillion cubic feet) in 2020 and 40 billion cubic meters (1.5 trillion cubic feet) per year thereafter for four more years. In addition, the document stipulates that Gazprom and Naftogaz might consider direct gas supplies to Ukraine at a discounted European hub’s price depending on volumes.
