Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak was confident "all positions will be agreed upon today," ahead of the trilateral gas talks between Russia, Ukraine and the European Commission, in Brussels on Friday. Novak's optimism was shared by Ukrainian Energy Minister Volodymyr Demchyshyn who also expressed hope that the agreements for the whole winter gas supply would be signed today. Responding to the contentious issue on Ukraine's potential price discount on Russian gas, Novak said the "size of the discount depends on the quality" of gas, estimating that it would be around $20 (€17). The draft resolution on gas supplies to Ukraine prepared by the Russian government stipulates $20 (€17) discount. According to Novak, Ukraine's national oil and gas company Naftogaz has officially asked Russian energy giant Gazprom for a discount.
