...almost three years Ukraine has to import Russian gas for free
“These overpayments since January 2009 until now account for more than 20 billion US dollars. Now this is the Russian Federation's real debt to Ukraine, the recalculation means that Russia owes Ukraine more than 70 billion cubic meters of gas. That is, almost three years Ukraine has to import Russian gas for free”, — the expert believes. — The main thing now is to calculate correctly and to send it officially to “Gazprom”, the way “Naftogaz of Ukraine” did it correctly with suggestions about the price of gas. And if necessary — to the International Court”.
According to him, “Gazprom” in a civilized environment will not be able to explain why it demanded such money from Ukraine.

Remember, the price of gas for Ukraine in recent years has reached the level of 400 US dollars per one thousand cubic meters, and since April, “Gazprom” demands the payment of 485 US dollars per one thousand cubic meters. Russian gas for Ukraine is more expensive than, for example, for France, which is located almost on the edge of Europe.
