The launching ceremony of the first stage of the Southern Gas Corridor project was held in Baku on May 29.

Ukraine and the European Union have already agreed to begin tripartite negotiations on the transit of gas to European consumers from Russia.

Nord Stream 2 is a pipeline for both Russian gas and Russian influence.

Earlier Deputy Chairman of Gazprom Alexander Medvedev said he did not understand with whom from the Ukrainian side it is necessary to negotiate on this issue.

The EU has committed to cutting 40 percent of its greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels.

Putin refused to estimate the gas volumes that can be simultaneously transported through the new gas pipeline and the Ukrainian gas transport system.
