Work is underway to explore the possibility of transporting Azerbaijani gas through Ukraine to Europe, emphasized the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Georgiy Tikhiy, dismissing the notion of transporting any "other" gas under the guise of Azerbaijani gas.
"Efforts continue regarding the transportation of Azerbaijani gas, as the president mentioned. To clarify this matter, I can specify that we are not discussing transporting any gas under the guise of Azerbaijani gas. It is specifically about Azerbaijani gas and Ukraine's role in its transportation. Work is in progress," the spokesperson said at a briefing in Kyiv on Friday.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that Ukraine "sees various signals" from the Prime Minister of Slovakia regarding this issue.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine is ready to transport Azerbaijani gas to Europe through its territory.
According to the head of state, he has already discussed this issue with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Switzerland.
