Ukrainian Company Naftogaz of Ukraine is on the brink of default in 2009, said Tuesday the head of the management Board Andrey Kobelev.

"Naftogaz" is on the verge of default is already very long, since 2009 this condition in this or another measure changes, but it continues, " said Korolev Tuesday

Another gas dispute "Gazprom" and "Naftogaz" arose last week, when Gazprom February 19, started to deliver gas directly towards the South-East of Ukraine through the measuring station (GIS) "Prokhorovka" and "Platoo" in the Donbass. However, Naftogaz insists that in his application indicates other GIS. Gazprom has focused on the fact that the gas flow through GIS "Prokhorovka" and "Platoo" does not contradict the long-term contract "Gazprom" and "Naftogaz" from 2009, which means, to pay for these supplies need to " Naftogaz ".

in response to this Naftogaz increased daily application for gas sampling in 1, 5 times. As commented Last news experts, this is done in order to quickly select prepaid gas volume and force Gazprom to supply gas to the South-East of Ukraine outside the contract.
