Naftogas: Gas pumping from Europe is enough for preparation for the winter in the Ukraine

​Gas pumping from Europe is enough for preparation for the winter in the Ukraine and purchase from Gazprom is a commercial issue for Kiev, the head of Naftogas, A. Kobolev, said.

He added that Naftogas goes on negotiations with Gazprom upon the additional agreement on gas purchase in Q3.

In June Naftogas said that it waited for the formal offer of the gas price for Q3.

He added that the price of the Russian gas for the Ukraine in Q3 is planned by the contract and will not take into account the oil products price. By the preliminary assessment it will not be higher than the market price and no discount will be required.

Mr. Kobolev said that the real price of the Russia gas in Q3 will make up about $173 but A. Miller named the price of $167.57.

It was reported that reverse supplies become more burdensome, gas purchase from Russia will allow the Ukraine to save dozens of million dollars.
