This concern was expressed at a meeting with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has twisted the head of “Gazprom” Alexei Miller.
” We know that the official figures were 16.5 billion cubic meters of gas. It’s not so much for the passage of a cold winter. But somewhere 5-6 billion from 16.5 – the so-called inactive gas, they basically can not use ” – said Miller.
“We are naturally interested in Ukraine to be a reliable partner in this respect. But what you say makes you wonder about how events will unfold. Pay close attention to, how is the selection of gas to Ukraine, and if necessary to make operational decisions, if they are needed, “- said Dmitry Medvedev.
In December last chisolah Ukraine managed to pay 1 billion 650 million dollars in debt for gas, according to the terms reached in the framework of the tripartite agreement of the European Commission, Russia and Ukraine. But this is only part of the debt, recalled Miller. “The amount of debt that brought Ukraine – $ 5.3 billion,” – said the head of “Gazprom”.
In addition, the Ukrainian side has fulfilled an advance payment for gas supplies in January in the amount of $ 150 million.
“Given the fact that Ukraine is in the month of December in significant volumes collecting gas from its underground storage facilities, she chose the volumes that have been prepaid for gas deliveries in December. Of billion cubic meters of gas Ukraine has selected somewhere about 50 per cent. Accordingly, taking into account the advance payment for January delivery, Ukrainian volumes in January is about 1 billion cubic meters. In fact it is not so much for the reason that getting colder and colder in Ukraine. The volume of daily selections in the Ukraine in January increased compared to December doubled, “- said Miller.
Recall that Russia has resumed gas supplies to Ukraine on December 9, after nearly a six-month break. Winter gas plan agreed by the parties suggests that the gas supplies are made on a prepayment basis.
