"Naftogaz" sent "Gazprom" the response to his proposal to extend the contract for gas transit from Russia, said the Executive Director of the organization of Ukrainian Yuriy Vitrenko. He also drew attention that Ukraine may sign the agreement on the transit pumping of one year, but the rules are required to " comply with European rules." in addition, Kiev will have time to certify a new operator of the gas transportation system before the end of the year: this will give you the opportunity to sign a long-term transit agreement, said a top Manager. The existing contracts of Russia and Ukraine on the transit and supply of fuel to expire at the end of the year. Moscow, Kiev and the European Commission hold a trilateral meeting on the continuation of supply, but as long as it is ineffectual. At the meeting on 27 October Plenipotentiaries of Russia have proposed a batch variant of the decision of the gas issues. For example, it was said to abolish all claims and lawsuits. However, Vitrenko said that there are different schemes, but not zero. then, on the 18th of November "Gazprom" has made the initiative of "Naftogaz" to extend the current contract or enter into a new year. While the Russian concern said that the new agreement can be signed only Under the condition of failure of both parties from mutual claims in the international arbitration, the termination of judicial proceedings, cancellation of the decision of Antimonopoly Department of Ukraine on imposing on "Gazprom" penalty for " violation of economic competition ", and after review of the petition of "Naftogaz" about the initiation of a European Commission investigation against a Russian organization. The head of the Ukrainian Ministry of energy Alexey Orzhel called the offer "Gazprom" is invalid. Together, Naftogaz estimates its complaint to "Gazprom" to 22 billion dollars. <span style="color:darkgray
