President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has proposed that Romania use Ukraine's underground gas storage facilities in order to improve energy stability in the region.

"I proposed to the Romanian side to use a potential of the Ukrainian underground gas storage facilities to reserve gas. In so doing, we can jointly improve security of not just Ukraine, not just Romania, but the whole region," the president said during a joint press conference with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis in Bucharest on Thursday.

Poroshenko said it was necessary by the joint efforts to strive for strengthening of the energy security in the region and thanked his Romanian counterpart for understanding in the existing situation.
