Naftogaz: Kiev wants compromise in the issue of gas supplies to Ukraine

Kiev wants to find consensus on the issue of gas supplies to Ukraine, taking into account the lack of consideration of the supply and use of fuel gas metering stations "Prokhorovka" and "Platoo" controlled DND and LNR, said the head of "Naftogaz Ukraine" Andrey Kobelev.
Announcing the start of the supply through the "Prokhorovka" and "Platoo" last in "Gazprom" focused on the fact that the gas flow through these GIS provides a long-term contract "Gazprom" and "Naftogaz" from 2009, which means to pay for these supplies need to " Naftogaz ", RIA " Novosti." Nobody can control how this gas is used to say Ukraine that you have to pay for gas deliveries, which is illegal, which it is impossible to control, as from the position deliveries from Russia and from the position of use, is absolutely incorrect. For this reason, I think that this position will be heard in the EU, and we will try to find a reasonable consensus, " he said." last week, Gazprom decided to supply gas through the points that border the conflict zone (Donbass). Even last year we said the Russian colleagues that through these points gas supplies will not have the opportunity - there is no authorized " Naftogaz ", there is no possibility to account, " said Korolev on Ukrainian 5th channel on Tuesday. According to him, Gazprom position is that it specifies as the source address of the concern "Donbasstransgas" on gas supply in the Donbass. According to Soboleva, this Company is under the influence of the militia and it has never been the subject of direct negotiations with Gazprom on gas supplies, as it is a production unit of Ukrtransgas responsible for these issues on behalf of Kiev. Attention to the gas relations between "Gazprom" and "Naftogaz" has aggravated due to the fact that the Russian Firm from February 19 start gas supplies to Ukraine, and among them through the measuring station (GIS) "Prokhorovka" and "Platoo" Donbass, which are controlled LNR and DND. However, Naftogaz insists that in his application indicates other GIS " Sudzha, Valuiki ", "sohranovka and Pisarevka" and "Prokhorovka" and "Platoo" they do not appear. Before Tuesday, the head of the Board of OJSC "Gazprom" Alexey Miller said that "Naftogaz of Ukraine" have not given a new prepayment for gas from Russia, which increases the likelihood of bringing to the cessation of supply for two days. While Naftogaz said that Gazprom did not fulfill Ukraine's application for the production and delivery of 22 February prepaid natural gas than broke tripartite Brussels Treaty. At the same time February 6, energy Minister Alexander Novak said that Russia is ready to discuss gas supplies in the 2nd quarter, if the proposals of the Ukrainian side will provide the debt repayment schedule for first gas. Remember, in October 2014 on the results of the trilateral talks in Brussels, Russia, the EU and Ukraine signed the final agreement on gas supply and transit until March 2015. A legally recorded consensus, the cost of gas for Ukraine will be 378 dollars for 1 thousand Cubic meters until the end of 2014 and 385 USD per 1 thousand Cubic meters until March 2015.
