💨 Abstract

President Vladimir Putin has stated that there is no time left this year to sign a new gas transit deal with Ukraine, as Ukraine has refused to extend the current agreement. This deal supplies gas to Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Austria. Putin blames Ukraine for punishing Europe by this move. The current five-year gas transit deal expires by the end of this year, and it is impossible to conclude a new one in a short time, Putin added.
