KYIV, Aug 25 – The transit of Russian gas through Ukraine after 2024 can be continued only by agreement with importers, Ukrainian Ambassador to Moldova Marko Shevchenko has said.

"Ukraine will not initiate negotiations on the extension of the agreement on the Russian gas transit gas after 2024, but is open to proposals from partner countries. The reason is clear: we... have severed diplomatic relations with Russia. We are waiting for the position of Gazprom or the authorities of Russia. Ukraine is open to any situation in terms of transit, because at present natural gas transits through Ukraine to Moldova, including Transnistria," the diplomat said in an interview with the Vocea Basarabiei (Voice of Bessarabia) TV channel on Friday.
