KIEV, December 31. /TASS/: The Ukrainian government is proactively discussing the potential restart of direct natural gas purchases from Russia, CEO of Naftogaz of Ukraine Andrei Kobolev said at a press conference on Tuesday.
"An intensive and proactive discussion [of direct supplies] is currently underway inside the Ukrainian government and broader political circles. We can return to this after it ends; Naftogaz is not holding such negotiations at this point," Kobolev said.
