Kyiv will not extend its agreement with Gazprom to transit Russian gas through Ukraine after it expires at the end of the year, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy said, Paralel.Az reports citing TASS.

"The agreement with Russia will not be renewed, period, end of story," he told a press conference broadcast by the Rada TV channel.

That said, after the contract expires Ukraine will make a decision about the transit of Russian gas through its territory to Europe jointly with the EU, the president noted. "As far as gas transit from other companies is concerned, if there is continued interest from some of our European colleagues we will consider their requests together with the EU," he added.
