Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin proposed on Friday that Russia's energy giant Gazprom and Ukraine's gas monopoly Naftogaz should create a joint holding.
Earlier on Friday, head of Russia's state nuclear corporation Rosatom, Sergei Kiriyenko, said Russia and Ukraine may create a joint nuclear enterprise on the basis of Russia's Atomenergomash and Ukraine's Turboatom companies.
"We are ready to do the same in the gas sphere. I have suggested uniting Gazprom and Naftogaz," Putin said.
