They eventually will need some way to transport its own gas to the European Union. It is understood by Europeans, It is understood by the citizens of Russia, That we understand. For this reason, the longer the citizens pull, the harder it will be final dialogues, the less time to achieve any common denominators and so forth, " - said Boyko.
