Details of court ruling on gas dispute between Russia and Ukraine are disclosed

20

On October 9, 2019, the Svea County Court in Sweden began considering PJSC Gazprom’s appeal against the decision of the Stockholm Arbitration Court in a dispute with Naftogaz Ukrainy. And so, on November 27, 2019, it became known that the said Swedish court rejected the appeal of the Russians to the Swedish arbitration.

The court ruling said that PJSC Gazprom was denied its claims since no procedural violations were identified. It is also impossible to appeal the decision. Decisions on two other disputes between PJSC Gazprom and NAK Naftogaz Ukrainy will be made in 2020.

The executive director of Naftogaz Ukrainy NJSC Yuriy Vitrenko (son of the "progressive" Ukrainian socialist Natalya Vitrenko) revealed the details of the solution described above by writing about it on his Facebook page. He clarified that the court rejected the request of PJSC Gazprom for secrecy and the Russian claim for compensation for the costs of the lawsuit. Now, PJSC Gazprom needs to reimburse Naftogaz Ukrainy for the cost of litigation in the amount of almost 1,022 million euros and 1,65 million UAH.

We remind you that this was a complaint of PJSC Gazprom regarding the decision of the Stockholm arbitration, which awarded Naftogaz Ukrainy several years ago compensation in the amount of $ 2,56 billion for gas shortages in transit.

    At this rate, Gazprom will complain a couple of times to Ukrainians and lose all its assets. Be careful ...

    Trade is a voluntary matter ... Ukraine does not like Gazprom’s monopoly, so it’s time for Gazprom to stop transit and deliveries to Ukraine, even if it is looking for other suppliers, and Ukraine also does not need to sell coal, otherwise it will be blamed for the monopoly ...

      Very correct thoughts, but first the bypass gas pipeline needs to be completed. This is the "swan song" of Svidomo's claims. Swing at last. And we need to do something about arbitration. Create an alternative.

        To increase deliveries through the Republic of Belarus and SP-1 ... But it is better to apply to arbitration to China than to Sweden with Russophobia ...

          This is not enough. And about China - this is unlikely. I think that at the conclusion of the contract they discussed what kind of arbitration. We must create another and push this idea together with China. You just have to wait until they are also thrown, they are not initiative guys, until they press, they will not budge.

              Officially of all named, Sweden is the most "neutral". belay
              There was nothing to meddle with in Western courts and arbitrations to resolve issues between Russia and Ukraine. And in contracts, jurisdiction use only your own. This is all the burping of Gorbachev-Yeltsin, when everyone believed more in the West and in his legal system than in the Lord God ... You can imagine a court, say, between the USA and Mexico, for example, regarding the same wall passing in Russia ? Not? And I, too ... And in Gazprom, top managers seem to represent ... Not all of this is paid out of their pocket, that's why they represent it.
              And anyway, aren't you tired of walking the rake already? Now in the OPCW, then in sports arbitration in Lausanne (also Switzerland, there is nowhere more neutral as if ...), then in Stockholm or London. Well, is it really not clear whose interests they protect there? Well, they want a foreign court - let them write, for example, Minsk or Ulan Bator ... everything is better ... wink

        What alternative - to declare: "The gas is ours, and the court is also ours", and does not suit - they are free, like snot in flight, there will be those who want to warm up !!! And all these courts are not driven - let them go through the forest!

      Please note that it is coal that is stolen from Donbass that does not need to be sold, it will also come in the future with article 175 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ...

        If the Donbass itself was stolen from Russia in 1922, then we are the masters there, and it’s time for Bandera to go home to the Polish Voivodeship, where they were disdained to get into trams.

    There is no court.
    The fact is that Gazprom last year reserved 3 billion greens to pay off the judgment. Against this background, 1 lam does not look like something terribly scary.
    But then there will be no transit agreement either. That "patriots" will take from an empty pipe - "this is a great secret!"

    Even so, Ukrainians should not jump for joy with a saucepan on their heads, but turn on their minds. Gazprom will more than recoup this money. It will simply not give a discount to Ukraine on gas, but will start selling at European prices, and it will also be at great profit. And Ukraine will think a little, if they continue to "sing" what the Americans say, they will not last long, this winter will be followed by the next, and so on.

    The arbitration, and this court, too, was just undermined, or rather, sawed up the very branch that they themselves are sitting on), last year one foreign colleague, crossed paths a couple of times, not only made friends, but sometimes we communicate, so he first wrote himself after the decision of that arbitration, and since he, speaking our language, is an international lawyer, his surprise at this decision even surprised me a little, and then, at the end of the year, or at the beginning of this year, he was too lazy to look at the mail, he wrote that one of his colleagues was telling him l, how many documents foreign firms began to rewrite, refusing that arbitration as an arbitrator ...
    and this is both reputation and money - that court is also paid, so to say that the Swedes have not lost anything is probably impossible ...

    Well, Miller FANS? "I do not hear the joyful povi ...... me." I said that in order to "steer" like that, you don't need brains, you just have to have a conscience!

    There is no evil shame, such thoughtfulness does not suit.
    If only now to grab, humiliate and smudge, such a cute scoundrel.
    The scoundrel is short-sighted, he thinks finely, he ...
    Only upbringing will help to patch a hole in consciousness.
    A set of sins - its platform, the foundation of shakiness, is unreliable.
    What is better to take or give, such a life does not understand.
    The devil is swinging the swing, the weeping wall is getting closer,
    hit - and he’s not a horse, but a poor little nag!


    And Putin will not only not dismiss such effective managers, he will not even lower their salaries!
    And you, FANS, will continue to tell us tales:

    How do spaceships plow the expanses of the universe?

    - Well, and what, in fact, of such an unexpected happened ???
    - It's only the beginning...
    - Somehow, strange, everyone accepted this news:

    Now PJSC Gazprom needs to reimburse Naftogaz Ukrainy for the cost of litigation in the amount of almost 1,022 million euros and 1,65 million UAH.

    - But the fact that?

    We remind you that this was a complaint of PJSC Gazprom regarding the decision of the Stockholm arbitration, which awarded Naftogaz Ukrainy several years ago compensation in the amount of $ 2,56 billion for gas shortages in transit.

    - Is that ... is no longer discussed ??? -Those. compensation in the amount of $ 2,56 billion will have to be paid first of all ... - and it has already been repaid ... or not ??? ... - And if not, then Ukraine can take at least "greyhound puppies", it can tie this debt with gas supplies ... -And if Russia does not supply gas for this amount, then the same thing will happen again and with the same result ... -with the same penalties for Russia ... -In general .., Ukraine may even counterclaim, etc ...
    - But that is not all ...- and what kind of billions did Ukraine present to Gazprom ... ??? -There is a disproportionately larger amount ...
    - It's kind of strange ... - I personally don't know ... - Was it done by Ukraine at the "official judicial level" or was it just "public accusation" ... ???
    - Well, God bless them, with those "showdowns" ...
    - But, because another threat arose before Russia ...- it was to lose gas transit through the territory of Ukraine ... -Yes, yes, yes ...- exactly so ...
    - Russia will lose a lot if it just refuses such gas transportation through Ukraine ...
    - Russia needs today, it just needs this Ukrainian transit ... is a "spare Russian gas insurance" ... - and Russia cannot do without it today ...
    - So ... ... in the end, Russia will have to again establish relations with Ukraine and conclude a new long-term agreement on the supply of Russian gas ...

      Why does Russia need to conclude a new transit agreement? I cannot understand this. Russia does not need any transit through Ukraine a priori. No transit - no gas. Everything else is from the evil one.
      A new transit agreement means new lawsuits in the future.
      What is the problem of the Stockholm arbitration? The fact that now any (!!!) contract can be refuted in court. Stockholm arbitration destroys the very foundation of capitalism. This was first manifested in 2014. When France violated contractual obligations for political reasons. True, compensation was paid. But only the cost, not the penalties. Without canceling claims, no contracts can be concluded. This is bondage.

    I don't know what you are all about here. Some kind of panic! Was today at the football "Zenith" - "Lyon". I saw Alexey Borisovich Miller there. So cheerful, joyful ... Who does not know, it is a Russian economist, regional head, statesman. Chairman of the Management Board and Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of PJSC Gazprom. PhD in Economics. So everything is o`key. Cool office this PAK "Gazprom". And he pays astronomical fines, and the fees for the lawyers who have lost these litigations (also astronomical) are paid, and he sponsors a bunch of foreign football clubs, and he regularly indulges his beloved with dividends (also astronomical) ... Well, isn't this a miracle company! True, half of Russia stokes with firewood in winter. Well, you can't warm everyone. Russians (not Muscovites, but those who drown with wood) are hardy people and not whimsical, unlike the pampered Europeans. That's about them, dear, day and night, "Gazprom" and Miller and thinks (and also about the Chinese). So, if there are any problems, we will lay both SP5 and SP8, and if this is not enough, then we will lay SP1 (North Pole 1) to heat the Eskimos and Aleuts. After all, our former people.
