“Австрия является надежным партнером России в газовом сотрудничестве, уже второй год подряд обновляется рекорд по объему экспорта газа в Австрию: если по итогам 2017 года он вырос до 9,1 млрд куб. м, то в 2018 году этот показатель составил уже 12,3 млрд куб. м. Уверен, что по итогам 2019 года мы выйдем на новые рекорды”, - отметил Александр Новак.

Moscow says it does not want a “gas war” with Ukraine like the one in 2009 which led to supply disruptions in many European countries before the current agreement was signed.

"I can confirm the Pioneering Spirit is currently installing the pipeline in Danish waters," the Allseas spokesman said.

The meeting was focused on the current issues of cooperation between the companies. Particular attention was paid to natural gas deliveries. The parties noted the contribution of the Nord Stream gas pipeline to the reliability and safety of gas supplies to consumers in Germany and Europe.

Last week, President Vladimir Putin said Russia wanted to resume direct gas sales to Ukraine -- and would be prepared to reduce the price Kyiv paid by 20%-25%.

The potential delay in Nord Stream 2 construction also undermines Russia's position in negotiating a new transit deal with Ukraine's Naftogaz. Ukraine transited some 87 Bcm of Russian gas to Europe in 2018 -- or some 44% of total Russian exports -- but those volumes are set to slump once the planned Nord Stream 2 and TurkStream gas pipelines come online.

In a statement, Gazprom said it had sent a letter to Naftogaz -- signed by Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller -- to "extend the existing contract or to conclude a new gas transit agreement through Ukraine for a period of one year."

Next year, the EU has committed to finance projects worth 168.7 billion euros ($186.8 billion), of which 21% will go to measures to fight climate change.
