Europe needs gas supplies and cannot rule out the prospect of transit of blue fuel from Azerbaijan through the territory of Ukraine, Alfred Stern, Chairman of the Executive Board and Chief Executive Officer of OMV AG said, APA-Economics reports.
"We must increase the supply of all energy carriers, including gas. We cannot exclude anything. I would never put myself at the disposal of one supplier in the future. The rest is a political question," the OMV head answered the question about his support for gas transit from Azerbaijan through Ukraine.
Recall that on January 1, the transit of Russian gas through the territory of Ukraine to Europe was completely suspended due to Kyiv's refusal to extend the contract.
Note that the transportation of Azerbaijani gas to Europe via the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) began on December 31, 2020.
