Ukraine Recognized Russia’s Origin of Gas
Ukraine agreed to pay $321 per a thousand cu meters of Russia’s gas supplied in January and February without any deal clinched to the effect. The respective contract was inked March 6, but the size of supplies is yet unclear. The sources say the matter at stake could be nearly a half of 9.1 billion cu meters shipped by Gazprom. The respective negotiations begin in Moscow today.
Under the contract that Naftogaz Deputy Board Chairman Igor Didenko and Rosukrenergo Acting Directors Dmitry Glebko and Konstantin Chuichenko inked March 6, Naftogaz will pay to Rosukrenergo $321 per a thousand cu meters of gas delivered in January and February.
But the actual size of supplies is yet unclear. Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov said they are negotiating about the volume. At the same time, Kupriyanov was surprised by the given price, specifying that the monopoly wanted $314.7 per a thousand cu meters.
Another source in Gazprom explained that the matter at stake could be at least 4 of 9.1 billion cu meters shipped to Ukraine. Another 5.1 billion cu meters will be viewed as deliveries of the Middle Asia’s gas, costing $179.5 per a thousand cu meters. As a result, the average price for Ukraine could be some $240 per a thousand cu meters in January and February.
