KYIV, March 22 – Ukraine will continue to transit Russian natural gas as long as it is technically possible, but proposes to freeze funds from its sale on escrow accounts until the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine, head of the board of NJSC Naftogaz Ukrayiny Yuriy Vitrenko said to Bloomberg.

"At the moment, it has been decided that as long as it is technically possible, we will continue the transit of Russian gas," he said.

Vitrenko noted that he could not disclose the details of political discussions with the president, with Russia, with the European Union, but as the general director of the company, he must ensure uninterrupted transit, as long as there are technical possibilities for this.
