The presidents of Russia and Ukraine, Dmitry Medvedev and Viktor Yanukovych, said on Friday their governments would hold talks on energy cooperation, including in the gas sector.
"We have active agreements and contracts, and we have agreed that we will give orders to the governments and ministers to enter into a full-scale partnership and discuss cooperation in the energy sphere, both in the gas sector and on other energy issues," Medvedev said at a joint news conference in Moscow.
He added that the realization of projects between Russia and Ukraine would "attract long-term investment, which is very important, especially in the current period of economic crisis."
