BRUSSELS – Ukraine could consider continued transit of Russian gas on the condition that Moscow does not receive money for the fuel until after the war, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday. Ukraine has previously ruled out extending a contract to transit Russian gas, via Ukraine to Europe, which is due to expire at the end of the year. Slovakia, one of the recipients of the gas, has been racing to prolong the deal. (Reuters)
