Bilateral agreements on gas supplies through the year 2031 have already been drafted and could be agreed on shortly.

Today Ukraine consumes its own natural gas from underground facilities as well as the natural gas from Turkmenistan strictly according to the signed contracts.

By January 20 we plan to create the joint venture, and by January 25 to sign a contract and close the issue.

It's all agreed. There are just a few things left to sort out. Most of them are already sorted out, it's just the legal technicalities.

The different sorts of creative legal challenges had already occurred, and so it was drafted in a way to make it impervious to those kinds of attacks.

They've already agreed to that, so that's not a problem. Just a few more days (to restart).
