Kiev again tries to gain access to Russian gas and not to pay its debts, Russian experts say, RIA Novosti reports.
In mid June Gazprom terminated gas supply to the Ukraine until it pays out its debt to Russia. The Ukraine tries to receive Russian gas from European companies.
The Europeans are ready to sell part of Russian gas to the Ukraine. But the terms of the transit agreement prohibit the transference of gas on the territory of the Ukraine. It is expensive to construct gas pipeline for the supply of gas from the EU countries back to the Ukraine. “Gazprom” prohibits gas reverse, but the Ukraine tries again to amend the terms of the agreement.
