An interesting piece which sounds to me like it may be a negotiating ploy by Ukraine to win higher transit fees from Russia, perhaps in the context of an overall settlement of the war. It’s hard to believe the move was undertaken without consultation with and agreement by its NATO patrons. This paragraph is particulary cryptic: " Kiev has expressed readiness to discuss preserving transit with Europeans. What emerged from the recent visit of Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico to Moscow and his one-on-one with Putin is that Europe is ready to move the turnover point for Russian gas in Ukraine” - whatever that means. "He claimed Putin nodded.”
