MOSCOW, September 8 (Itar-Tass) —— Russia believes that there is no need for the external auditing of Russian-Ukrainian agreements in the gas sector, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.

"Any attempt to question the Russian-Ukrainian agreement in question is legally unjustifiable,” the ministry said. “The extremely clear legal framework of this issue does not require any ‘external audit’ and should be realized by all who are interested in securing Europe's energy security."
