Ukraine’s air force says fighter jets will not be ready to use this winter; US stae department calls for Putin to return to grain deal
Ukraine’s energy minister German Galushchenko said Kyiv will not join in talks with Russia about a renewal of the contract for the transit of Russian gas through Ukrainian territory which is due to expire next year.
He told the Ukrainian service of US broadcaster Voice Of America:
We will not be a party at the talks with the Russians for sure, it’s absolutely obvious.
The next year will show if Europe can function without Russian gas at all.
I see all preconditions for that to happen.
