Russia states it is ready to start a discussion on gas prices with Ukraine, but only if it pays for the undisputed debts that accrued to early April, Alexander Novak, the RF Minister of Energy announced.
Since early April, the price of Russian gas for Ukraine was backfilled from $268.5 to $485 per thousand cubic meters. The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine stated that Kiev refuses to pay a price that is greater than the one that operated in the first quarter. According to them, the price is fair from the market point of view.
