据WENews.com网站5月21日伦敦报道，德国政府的一名女发言人21日说，德国政府总理默克尔和乌克兰总统波罗申科本周一通过电话谈到了默克尔上周访问俄罗斯的情况，努力实施明斯克协议以及通过乌克兰的天然气过境输送问题。

德国政府女发言人玛蒂娜·菲茨在一份声明中表示：“两位领导人同意在这些问题上保持密切联系并深化合作。”

上星期五，德国政府总理默克尔在俄罗斯度假胜地索契与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京举行了会谈。双方在会谈中强调，即使在俄罗斯北溪-2天然气管道建成以后，仍需要通过乌克兰向欧洲输送俄罗斯天然气。

Merkel, Poroshenko Discuss Gas Transit Through Ukraine

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko spoke by telephone on Monday about Merkel's visit to Russia last week, efforts to implement the Minsk agreement and gas transit through Ukraine, a spokeswoman said.

"Both parties agreed to remain in close contact on these issues and to deepen cooperation," Martina Fietz, a spokeswoman for the German government, said in a statement.

Merkel held talks with President Vladimir Putin in Sochi, Russia, on Friday, and stressed the need for the continuation of gas transit via Ukraine even after the completion of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, which will circumvent the country.
