KIEV (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 22nd March, 2019) Ukrainian presidential candidate Yuriy Boyko, leader of the Opposition Platform - For Life party, said he was ready to offer options to extend the gas transit contract with Russia.

He was speaking at a meeting with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev broadcast by the 112 Ukraine television channel.

"A large transit contract is expiring, and we see that the current authorities do not show proper activity... We are ready to offer and consider various options for mutually beneficial renewal of the contract on transit after the expiry of the current contract at the end of this year. The most important issue is a direct contract on gas supplies to the country. Because today there is an abnormal situation when gas comes from Europe without a direct contract," Boyko said.
