"Gazprom" knocks recognition from Kiev that the latter rejects the Donbass.
"Gazprom" demanded "Naftogaz of Ukraine" to officially confirm the notice of rejection from an advance payment for gas as long as Russia supplies fuel to the Donbass. Moscow believes that direct delivery to the DPR and LPR are under the contract with "Naftogaz" and if Kiev does not pay for them, the supplies to the Ukraine stop. If the parties implement their threats, on Saturday the Ukraine could remain without gas from Russia. The European Commission proposed a compromise: to share supplies to the Ukraine and to the Donbass.
