Ukraine is preparing long-term gas contracts with Azerbaijan.
Last year, the Ukrainian Naftogaz and the Azerbaijani Soker made the first deliveries of Azerbaijani gas to Ukraine. The next task is to sign long-term contracts between companies," said Ukraine's Energy Minister Denis Shmyhal.
"We also offer the option of storing natural gas in underground storage facilities in Ukraine. In addition, the Azerbaijani side discussed not only the development of existing routes between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, but also the preparation of new logistics routes for the future. That work needs to start now.
We are working separately on the reconstruction and modernization of Ukraine, the involvement of Azerbaijani companies in the reconstruction of critical infrastructure, energy, industrial and social facilities," the Ukrainian minister noted.
