KYIV, Sept 19 – The priorities of Ukraine and Russia at the trilateral gas consultations held in Brussels on Thursday were different: Kyiv is most interested in gas transit via Ukraine, while Moscow is interested in direct gas sales to Ukrainian consumers, Vice-President for Energy Union Maros Sefcovic said.
"For Ukraine, well-functioning transit with volumes for EU consumers is the most important issue. Russia puts emphasis on direct sales to Ukrainian consumers," he said following the trilateral talks with Russia and Ukraine on the future of gas transit to Europe in Brussels on September 19.
