Russia called the final condition for partnership with Ukraine on gas

October 20 2019

On December 31, 2019, the 10-year agreement on the transit of Russian gas to Europe through Ukraine will cease to exist. At the same time, Kiev does nothing to at least temporarily extend this agreement, but only intimidates Moscow with regular lawsuits. In this regard, the head of the Ministry of Energy of Russia Alexander Novak made an important statement in which he voiced the final condition for the partnership of Moscow with Kiev on gas issues.

According to the minister, the basis of relations since 2020 should be the settlement of all disputes between Gazprom and Naftogaz in court. At the same time, he clarified that the Russian side has not yet received any notifications from the Ukrainian “partners”. The thing is that before that they were informed from Kiev that on November 1, 2019, Naftogaz was going to send another lawsuit to Gazprom. This time, we are talking about the $ 11 billion that Kiev wants to receive as compensation for the possible suspension of the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine.

We are waiting for them to study this issue and evaluate our proposal, because we believe that this is, indeed, the basis for normal relations in the future, from January 1, 2020. In order to continue interaction, work in accordance with the legislation that will be adopted in Ukraine. It is important here that all disputed issues be resolved, otherwise it will be quite difficult and difficult to interact

Said the Minister.

Necessary to remindthat recently the head of Gazprom Alexey Miller informed the public about the conditions for maintaining the transit of Russian gas through the territory of Ukraine. A month later, Miller even promised the Ukrainian "partners" a discount on gas at 20%. At the same time, he added that Kiev was notified of the need to resolve all legal disputes before concluding a new gas agreement.

What, not yet talked about? We are talking in Minsk, we are talking on gas. Or maybe on December 31 we’ll just close the valve, and then you can talk, even forever.

... good cannot be without evil,
because they create - destroying.
Good and evil cannot live
without interfering with each other.

  You will talk, though forever, and at this time the Americans will push you out gently from Europe. Their liquefied gas is waiting. However, Miller said that American gas is a myth, it is not. American shales are a pyramid.

    And in what incubator, storytellers do you grow up? Where are you from so many?
    
    ... the Americans will push you gently out of Europe.
    
    Let the pusher grow first.

    Please provide a reference to the statement. Take a word? Don’t pull on a gentleman.

  Gazprom has accumulated decent reserves for the winter in Europe, and liquefied gas in reserve. Autumn is very warm, and with a warm winter, no transit through Ukraine may be necessary.

All difficult issues with the USA and NATO were decided by the USSR! Now RUSSIA is weak and cowardly! It is not in its power to solve the problem with Ukraine! Yes, and other DIFFICULT questions, too! As the US and NATO say, it WILL! And the price of Russian gas will be APPOINTED in Washington! Long live the WORLD in the whole WORLD! Well, and, of course, GLORY EP!

  You rave or immediately from the Ukrainian fool write .. not otherwise.
  But who is interested in the opinion of the dwarfs of the armless from NATO, how Russia needs to be solved, and then let the NATO people go to their briefing and talk about their concerns, or they introduce sanctions .. Who cares.
  Anyway, it's time to bend Ukraine for a long time on the gas issue.

Even just by looking at ... Miller’s face, you can seriously worry and be puzzled (or simply ... just scared) not only for the fate of Gazprom itself, but also for the success of all gas management in Russia ..
- This "steward" is capable of "a lot" ... - just not to manage such a responsible leading Russian transnational energy company ... - But everything went as it was ... - and it went ... - and for many years ... -Alas...

The funniest thing is not even this news about filing another lawsuit against Gazprom for 11 yards.
The funny thing is that Naftogaz will file this lawsuit, that is, an office that will no longer exist in gas transit from January 1, 2020.
A rare case in the world practice of jurisprudence is a lawsuit from a morgue about a profit not received after life.
But in the country 404 and this does not happen.

The funny thing (or rather, it’s even not at all funny for anyone like that ...) is that Kiev will win the court (because it’s a European court) and, with the money received, will reverse our gas in Europe by 11 yards. And thus, it turns out, Europe sells our own gas and dictates its terms. Everything is in chocolate - Ukraine with free gas, Europe with dough, only Russia in the red. Bravo, Gazprom ...)
