On status of negotiations related to gas agreements with Ukraine
Question by Eugenia Sokolova, the RIA Novosti news reporter on the status of the negotiations related to gas agreements with Ukraine:
Yesterday you had another meeting with Yury Boiko. Both parties talk about the positive negotiating dynamics after each meeting. Can we expect that agreements will be reached soon?-
Answer by Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee:
Yes, indeed, the negotiations we are holding with our Ukrainian colleagues are very progressive and positive. We still have a lot of unsettled issues that are complex by nature. It is absolutely clear that no final agreements will be reached in the nearest future. I think that first results can be expected no sooner than November.
