Ukraine Expected to Curb Russian Gas Dependency with Europe Deal | Business | The Moscow Times:
"Gas pipeline operators in Slovakia and Ukraine are expected to sign a deal soon that allows the European Union to ship gas through Slovakia to Ukraine, helping to reduce Kiev's dependence on Russia, the European Commission said.
An agreement could signal a historic partnership between Ukraine and the EU.
"We consider that we are very close to a deal," Commission spokeswoman Marlene Holzner said. "The content of the deal has been agreed, whereby the gas will flow from west to east through Slovakia to Ukraine. It is just a matter of signing, which should be in the next few days."
She said the deal followed more than a year of talks brokered by EU Energy Commissioner GЯnther Oettinger."
