“My stance is absolutely invariable: Ukraine does not need any shadow intermediaries for its contracts on gas supplies from Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan”, Yulia Tymoshenko stressed.

She stressed that the arrests that took place lately [she meant Semyon Mogilevich] indicate that the world community also has been watching the situation in the gas relations of Ukraine and Russia, and does not allow developing any shadow models, including in the EU countries.
