KIEV, July 6 – Naftogaz CEO Andriy Kobolev expects the next round of the trilateral gas talks involving Ukraine, Russia and the European Union will be held in July and stresses the need to agree on a new "winter package" by the end of September.

"We hope the next round will be held as early as in July. Unfortunately, everyone will be on holiday next month, and we would not like to drag things out until September," he said in an interview with Channel 5 on Friday evening.
