Gazprom is unable to pay for transit through Ukraine due to the fact that the Ukrainian side is willing to receive less money than her offer, said the official representative of Gazprom Sergei Kupriyanov. " The only technical problem that exists in part payment for gas transit via the territory of Ukraine, is that Gazprom is willing to pay more than wants us to Ukrainian side. Transit rate depends on the price of Russian gas for Ukraine. Gazprom hopes this price according to the formula specified in the contract for production and delivery of gas. And " Naftogaz of Ukraine " believes in its price. This slows down the process, " said Kupriyanov, RIA " Novosti ". However, Gazprom hopes to find out this problem." But we will find a solution to this problem. Everything will be done in Accordance with the spirit of the Brussels agreement, " he added. Official representative of Gazprom Sergey Kuprijanoviae on the last working day of the week during the regular phone meetings with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko expressed dissatisfaction with the Fact that the Russian Federation had not paid for the transit of gas to the EU. Remember, in the last month of summer Gazprom has tried to pay Naftogaz 10, 5 million dollars for transit, But Kiev has returned the money, pointing out that the advance payment for transportation fuel is not yet spent. In fact, the cost of transit depends on the price of gas supplies, for this reason, the Ukrainian side has not had the opportunity to make money, because thereby they would have to admit justified and Russian gas prices. By assumption Kiev, advance transit has expired only in September, October and they require Gazprom's new payment. At the same time, in October, deputies of the state Duma approved amendments allowing Gazprom to pay for the transit of gas through Ukraine due to the debt of Naftogaz. This way, for example, would allow Kiev to reduce the costs of foreign exchange reserves, which was slated to start to pay gas debt.
