The formal cancellationn of the Russia-Ukraine-EU Tripartite Meeting on Gas is logical.
The European Commission officially confirmed the cancellation of the EU-Russia-Ukraine tripartite meeting on gas supply. Now, a new proposal that satisfies all three parties is expected from the RF Minister of Energy, whom September 20th didn’t suit.
Valentin Zemlyanskiy, the independent expert, the former press secretary of "Naftogaz of Ukraine":
The official cancellation of the tripartite meeting on the gas in the format of "Russia-Ukraine-EU" scheduled earlier in September 20th – is logical.
Firstly, everyone is waiting for the results of the parliamentary elections in the Ukraine, which are scheduled for October 26th. All the stakeholders need negotiators from the Ukrainian side not much agreement capable but authorized.
