Ukraine insisted that in the summer should act less cost - 325 dollars per 1 thousand Cubic meters, the Russian side offers a discount of $ 100 to the contract price (about 485 dollars) for the full year, RIA " Novosti." There is (in the negotiations on the last working day of the week in Milan, in the framework of the summit, " Europe-Asia"), even It was Not about the summer and winter (the price), But about the next five months. Not decided anything beyond five months.

This Poroshenko announced the existence as if the common position of the EU and Ukraine on " winter " prices. However, the contract on gas supplies to Ukraine is a pipe, Not a spot, and Not subject to price fluctuations depending on the season. It, thus, cannot go about the so-called summer and winter the price of gas supplies to Ukraine. We emphasize that Poroshenko repeated the same that was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on the results of the negotiations. Namely, the gas Ukraine has the opportunity to be granted, but as long as it remains unclear as Kiev wishes for him to pay.
