KIEV (Sputnik) — On Friday, European Commission Vice-President for Energy Union Maros Sefcovic, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak, and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Demchyshyn, took part in the talks on supplies of Russian natural gas to Kiev and its transit to Europe.
"The European Commission, the Russian Federation and Ukraine have agreed on the terms of gas deliveries to Ukraine for the upcoming winter period from the 1st of October until the end of March 2016. They have initialised the binding protocol and submitted it to the respective governments for confirmation," the EU delegation said in a statement on its Facebook page.
According to Sevcovic, the final signature of Russia’s gas deliveries contract to Ukraine for the fourth quarter of 2015 needs a separate procedure.
