the Price of Russian gas for Ukraine in the first quarter of 2017, is likely to increase because of rising oil prices. About it in interview to TV channel “Russia 24″ said Russian energy Minister Alexander Novak. “According to my estimates, a small increase will be”,— said the Minister.
Alexander Novak said that “Gazprom” offers “Naftogaz of Ukraine” to settle the question of prepayment for Russian gas supplies without signing the additional agreement to the contract. “”Gazprom” offers “Naftogaz” to the mutual exchange of letters, which would answer the questions and concerns of “Naftogaz” on advance payment”,— quotes “RIA Novosti” the words of the Minister of energy of Russia Alexander Novak.
“Gazprom is categorically opposed to (signing of additional agreement.— Kommersant), the Russian energy Ministry supports Gazprom’s position, because the parties are in the process of consideration of disputes in arbitration court,” podcherknul Mr. Novak. “Naftogaz” insists on the conclusion of the additional agreement to the contract, because he feared that the advance payment for Russian gas, the fuel will not be delivered or will be delivered, but not in accordance with the volumes and applications of the Ukrainian company, the Minister explained.
Previously Alexander Novak said that “Naftogaz of Ukraine” is not ready to buy Russian gas prepayment without making any changes to the contract. In “Naftogaz of Ukraine” announced readiness to buy gas from “Gazprom”, if it is a bargain price and will be signed a supplementary agreement to the current contract.
Recall that at the meeting on 9 December, Russia and Ukraine in Brussels failed to agree on Russian gas supplies. As predicted by “Kommersant”, in the debate raised the issue of abolition imposed on Gazprom by the Ukraine anti-monopoly fine of $ 6.6 billion, but Kiev is not ready to give it up in exchange for a suitable scheme of gas supplies. Negotiations are now likely to resume towards the end of winter, when problems with filling Ukrainian gas storage facilities will become more noticeable.
