5th round of Ukraine gas talks ends, negotiations will continue

The fifth round of three-party gas talks involving Russia, Ukraine and the European Union has ended, but the sides have failed to agree their positions and the talks will continue Tuesday, European Commissioner for Energy Guenther Oettinger said.

Oettinger said the parties had long talks (over 7 hours) this evening and this night, and added that negotiations continue. He said the parties have discussed issues of gas prices, the current contracts, market, neighboring countries and the current situation, but added that many questions remain and that positions on many issues differ.
According to the European energy commissioner, Russia, Ukraine and the EU agreed not to take wrong actions. He said Ukrainian and Russian officials should discuss the developments with their governments and heads of state and say they are ready to discuss the situation on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning.
According to Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak, the Russian gas price for Ukraine for June, July and August was discussed during the meeting for the first time.
