MOSCOW, eleven Mar - RIA Novosti/Prime. The head of "Naftogaz of Ukraine Andriy Sobolev hopes that in 2015 the share of "Gazprom" will be a maximum of 40% of the total Ukrainian gas imports.

"This year, we assume that the share of Gazprom in gas imports to Ukraine will be in the maximum version of 40%. I think it's a good incentive to come to a common opinion with us or try to come to a consensus on a fair, transparent and commercial terms, as was done in the past year, " said Korolev live TV channel.

according to the state statistics service of Ukraine, 2014 Ukraine imported 19, 465 billion cubic meters of gas: more than 5 billion cubic meters of Europe, more than 14 billion from Russia. In January-February 2015, according to " Ukrtransgaz ", Ukraine imported 4, 1 billion cubic meters of gas, as well as among them 2, 3 billion cubic meters of Europe and only 1, 8 billion from Russia.


A new twist on an old theme emerged on February 19." Naftogaz of Ukraine "has stopped gas supplies in the Donbass, explaining that "critical damage" pipelines." Gazprom decided the problem, using canned gas metering station, and just a couple of hours, the Ukrainian side suddenly said that he has restored pipe and resumed gas supplies to the region.

on the subsequent day of the event continued to grow, but the situation did not become clearer. So, Naftogaz says that resumed gas supply region. Authorized Donbass state that the gas comes specifically from Gazprom through the southern border with the Russian Federation (GIS "Platoo" and "Prokhorovka" )." Gazprom argues that the flow of gas through Platova " and "Prokhorovka" agreed with the Ukrainian side.
