Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev instructed the head of “Gazprom” Alexei Miller closely monitor the situation and if necessary to make operational decisions.
Ukraine has not filled in the proper amount of its underground storage. Officially called the 16.5 billion cubic meters of gas. It’s not so much for the passage of a cold winter. But about a third of them – the so-called inactive gas, they can not be used in principle, said the head of “Gazprom” at the meeting with the prime minister. According to Miller, while the Ukraine by 50% chose the volumes that have been prepaid for delivery in December. The volume of daily gas extraction in January have doubled compared to the previous month. The head of “Gazprom” also reported that the Ukrainian side has fulfilled an advance payment for January delivery in the amount of $ 150 million and paid half the three billionth debt. Thus Kiev fully implements the agreement reached in the tripartite agreements of Ukraine, Russia and the European Commission.
However, the money paid – this is only part of the debt. “The amount of debt that brought Ukraine – 5.3 billion” – said Miller.
