Russia, the European Commission and Ukraine reach an agreement on the terms of gas deliveries to Ukraine for the winter period from October 2015 until March 2016, following a meeting held on 25 September 2015 and chaired by EC's Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič. Mr Šefčovič added that 'all technical details are agreed' and the framework was set, but confirmation and formal signing of the full agreement would require separate procedures. At the end of June 2015, Ukraine announced it was halting all Russian gas purchases because it found the price inconsistent with what Russian energy giant Gazprom charged other European clients. The European Union relies on Russia for about a third of its gas supplies, with half of that amount transiting through Ukraine. |
