The head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko expects that in the future the environment in the process of tripartite negotiations on gas, " most Likely "will be found consensus.
" I note that already in the environment, most Probably, We will find a consensus on gas. We strongly moved, and the state will be with the heat, " said Poroshenko in the air of the First national on the first day of the weekend in the evening.
He said that Ukraine appealed to the Stockholm arbitration court where disputes the current gas contract and the price of gas." Only the court will say, what is this debt and what is the real cost, " said the head.
Poroshenko has said that Ukraine is reserved to pay gas debt 3, $ 1 billion and will be paid to the Russian side in the case of agreements." None of us rates greater than 3, $ 1 billion, which We have and which We have reserved, We will pay in the agreement, does not require it, " He said.
Regular gas dialogues of Ukraine and the Russian Federation with participation of the European Commission, the last Tuesday in Brussels, again, did not bring progress. Moscow did not wait for clarity on the question of payment of Kiev deliveries of blue fuel in November-December, and he still requires the signature of " Gazprom " under the winter plan. The possible signing of agreements deferred until October 29.
The so-called winter plan discussed by the parties, involves the resumption of gas supplies from Russia, Ukraine and ensure uninterrupted transit to the European Union during the coming winter. It provides for the repayment of Ukraine before the end of year 3, $ 1 billion debt for gas deliveries from Russia and the purchase of " Gazprom " additional amounts for the winter for the price of 385 USD per thousand cubic metres on a prepayment basis.
