The Russian gas giant Gazprom announced on Sunday that it has not yet received a signed copy of the agreement on the monitoring of gas transit through Ukraine, which is supposed to enable the continuation of gas supplies to Europe.
"Gazprom has not yet received a copy, not even by fax, of the document that Kyiv signed last night," Gazprom stated.
Russia and Ukraine signed an agreement on international monitoring of the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine on Saturday and early Sunday morning, with the mediation of Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek, who currently holds the EU presidency. The monitoring of gas transit will be carried out by observers from the EU, Russia, and Ukraine. (H)
