Steinmeier considers that the dialogue of Russia and Ukraine must continue
Nikolai Adashkevich. German foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier hopes that the dialogue between Russia and Ukraine about a new gas price and payment of debts will be continued.
" Failed dialogues on gas between Russia and Ukraine directly affect the whole of Europe. We hope that the Russian Federation remains open for negotiations and this is also expressed Ettinger (European Commissioner for energy) ", - said Tuesday Steinmeier at a press conference in Tallinn.
in the Estonian capital on Tuesday ended a two-day meeting of foreign Ministers of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Germany Urmas Paet, Edgar Rynkevich, Linas Linkevi?ius and Frank-Walter Steinmeier, during which they discussed issues of regional and international security.
on the first day of the week " Gazprom " has translated Ukraine for the prepayment of the gas once dialogues about the new price and payment of debts, which went under the mediation of the European Commissioner for energy Gunther Oettinger, proved fruitless. The suspension of gas supplies from Russia to Ukraine entails the danger of a violation by Ukraine of its transit obligations on gas supplies from Russia to Western Europe.
