The Ukrainian government will pay dearly for a political solution to buy gas in Europe. The prisoner the day before the contract with Gazprom makes European gas expensive and worthless, however Kiev will have to be purchased as "new brothers" from the EU are not as generous and very strictly honor the treaties. Ukraine will continue to import gas from the EU, despite the agreement for the upcoming quarter with Gazprom, told correspondents the Minister of energy and coal industry Volodymyr demchyshyn in Kiev. "Contracts. On specific commitments, they will be run. Can't we categorically refuse," he said. With all this, the Minister admitted that Ukraine does not have an urgent need for the purchase of large size gas, reports "Interfax". A day earlier, Russian Gazprom once again showed their generosity to the Ukrainian gas consumers, extending benefits to "Naftogaz of Ukraine". Until the end of the 2nd quarter of 2015 for Kiev will work 100 dollars for a thousand cubic meters, in addition to all this, not ill will apply the principle of "take or pay". That discount will be saved, and the cost of gas will be about $ 250 per thousand cubic meters, said the morning of April 2 "Naftogaz of Ukraine". During the day this information was eventually adopted in the Russian company. The head of "Gazprom" Alexey Miller said the parties signed a supplementary agreement, the regulatory and cost of gas supplies until the end of June 2015. "Gazprom" will not be to urge the payment of fines by the rule of "take or pay" for gas deliveries in the 2nd quarter of 2015. The parties have worked, are working and will continue to work according to the contract signed in 2009," he said. Initially, Gazprom did not want to deny the principle of "take or pay": currently the company is in litigation with the Ukrainian side, which previously failed to comply with this rule. But then a compromise was found. "Separately noted that the signed addition has no effect on the legal position of the parties in arbitration proceedings in Stockholm", said Miller.
