The EU is trying to find other suppliers ahead of Ukraine’s halting the transit of Russian gas, RIA Novosti has reported.
The current agreement on the transit of Russian gas to Europe via Ukraine expires at the end of the year.
Against this backdrop, the EU is looking for alternative sources of gas. For example, in October, the association imported liquefied natural gas from Mexico for the first time – for almost 35 million euros.
In addition, after a month-long pause, purchases from Egypt resumed – for 32 million euros and Indonesia – for 3 million euros.
Earlier, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico threatened Ukraine with a serious conflict if the Kiev authorities do not allow gas transit through the country’s territory.
