Risks for gas transit from Russia to the European Union through the territory of Ukraine will increase, if in Ukrainian underground gas storages (UGS) By October will be pumped enough gas, said energy Minister Alexander Novak. on the last working day of the week, March 20, according to the results of the trilateral meeting in the format of the Russian Federation, Ukraine, the EU, the Parties came To an understanding that Ukraine in the summer need to upload to your UGS 19 billion cubic meters of gas. The parties agreed that the EC will look into the possibility of providing financial assistance to Ukraine for the purchase of the required amount of gas. "Winter package showed that in General the Parties fulfill their obligations, Risks (for transit) have the opportunity to appear, if not be enough until October pumped into underground storage facilities. Unfortunately, the situation today is that European consumers are largely dependent on transit through Ukraine and from the amount pumped into underground storage facilities. For this reason, all by itself, pay attention to it, and, in many ways, these meetings were initiated in that year, and this continues, because after all, it's really those Risks for the sake of leveling that we gather. I think that if consensus that we have discussed today will be observed, these Risks will be minimal, " said Novak in interview to television channel ". The Russian Minister said that Russia and Ukraine nothing prevents to continue working in the gas sector from 1 April, when the expiration of the So-called winter package." Nothing prevents us to act from April 1 and no separate arrangements for the summer package, as all the rules that have been discussed and will run from April 1, they are, in fact, today is equal to the conditions written in the contract, " said Novak. The official reminded that the main innovation, which was discussed at a tripartite meeting of March 20 - it needs the injection of gas into underground storage facilities in Ukraine." The main issues that currently all concerned - to have money, you were required amount of gas pumped. The Russian side is ready all physical volumes to deliver, but the Russian side believes that we must work hard and live by the contract, it is necessary to receive payment for the supplied gas, and not only to put as last year, when the Ukrainian side in fact for a number of months received gas and was not paid due to the fact that the challenged rates, " says Novak. A new twist on an old theme was designated on February 19." Naftogaz of Ukraine halted gas supplies in the Donbass, explaining that "critical damage" pipelines." Gazprom has decided the issue, using canned gas metering station and just a couple of hours, the Ukrainian side suddenly said restored pipe and resumed gas supply to the region. on the subsequent day of the event continued to grow, but the situation became clearer. So, Naftogaz says that resumed gas supply in the region. Commissioners of Donbass gas flows 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. Read more in the article ""
