The Austrian Economics Minister, Reinhold Mitterlehner suggested that the EU could cover the Ukraine’s debt for gas. However, it is not clear if the EU is ready to support such an initiative.
The politician said that a political solution on an EU level was necessary to prevent the gas disputes between the Ukraine and Russia.
“We are ready to face crisis situation. I can guarantee we will survive winter,” he said.
At the same time he stated it was necessary to search for political resolving of the question, otherwise the EU will have problems.
