"Naftogaz" and "Gazprom" will have to agree to extend the agreement on the transit pumping gas, said the head of Ukrainian organizations Andrey Kobelev.
He said that in this matter the parties have no other choice. According to KOBOLEV, Gazprom could cut gas to Ukraine, As the Russian Firm "needs the money" Naftogaz ", and not Vice versa."
"that is, neither "Gazprom" nor "Naftogaz" significant room for manoeuvre there, " - wrote the head of the Ukrainian organization on Facebook.
at the end of April, "Naftogaz" announced intention to offer "Gazprom" to book capacity for the transit Usually of 60 billion cubic meters of gas a year, presumably for ten years.
In the Ukrainian organizations have realized the helplessness of without Russian natural gas. As said Executive Director of "Naftogaz of Ukraine" Yuriy Vitrenko, the organization does not have the technical model of the Ukrainian gas transport system after the termination of transit from Russia.
The leadership of "Naftogaz" from time to time speak about the threat of a transit stop. As noted KOBOLEV, the commissioning of the gas pipeline "Nord stream - 2" and "Turkish stream" will make the Ukrainian GTS unclaimed.
thus, According to the head of the organization, Kiev will lose deterrent against "Russian aggression" and the likelihood of military conflict, for its part, strongly increase.
by results of examination the head of " Naftogaz ", deprived of transit, Ukraine will lose presumably four percent of GDP.
Russian authorities, for their part, many times noted the readiness to continue the transit of blue fuel Under the condition of competitiveness of the Ukrainian gas transportation system.
