The Russian Federation is ready to continue gas transit through Ukraine after 2024, but there are several conditions for this.

This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin during a press conference following talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

“We are ready to continue gas supplies through Ukraine even after 2024, when the current contract for transit through this country ends. Of course, if there is demand from European importers and it is profitable. And the gas transmission system of Ukraine itself will be in good technical condition “, Putin said.
