Hahn offers Zelensky assistance in gas talks with Russia

European Commissioner for European Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn has offered at a meeting with Ukraine's President-elect Volodymyr Zelensky assistance in negotiations on gas relations with Russia in the context of the gas contract that expires at the end of the year, Zelensky's press service has told Ukrinform.

"EU Commissioner Hahn, in turn, offered assistance in negotiations on gas relations with Russia, particularly in the context of the termination of the contract for the pumping of Russian gas at the end of 2019," the press service said.

The commissioner also noted Zelensky's landslide victory in Ukraine's presidential election and invited him to make his first visit as president to Brussels.
