SOCHI, November 7. /TASS/. Gas supplies to European buyers via Ukraine in the coming year depend in particular on whether fuel volumes are contracted in advance, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"Everything will depend there on whether buyers are present," Peskov said. "The seller is present but you remember, the president has already said there is a certain cycle for gas purchases. To start buying on Day X, a required quantity needs to be booked on Day Y preceding that Day X," he noted.
Specific details are "a corporate matter," Peskov said. "We know nevertheless the position of Ukraine that refused to renew the agreement on pumping. We will see what will be later on," the Kremlin Spokesman added.
