Ukraine is asking that the mediation mission of the European Commission continue its work at talks with Russia on gas supplies during the 2015 summer period, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent quotes Ukrainian Energy and Coal Industry Minister Yuriy Prodan as saying.

Prodan told EC Vice-President Maros Sefcovic on Friday that Ukraine wanted the European Commission to act as a mediator at talks with Gazprom on summer prices. Sefcovic, who is responsible for energy policy, is currently on his first visit to Kyiv.
