Russia has suspended talks with Ukraine on setting up an umbrella company to manage the Ukrainian pipeline network, says Kommersant daily.
According to sources within the Ukrainian Energy Ministry and Gazprom cited by the paper, Russia is winding down cooperation in this area due to a change in plans.
It has been reported that Gazprom may be considering an additional stretch of its Yamal-Europe pipeline.
