Gas dispute between Russia and Ukraine have already good pre tradition.They nerviruyut Europe, to politicize it, although the crux of the matter boils down to two purely economic issues – the price of gas supplied to Ukraine and debt for its supply. These permanent issues re-emerged at a meeting in the Kremlin chapter Gazprom Alexei Miller with the President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev, writes today the Latvian edition of Business x26 Baltics . As reported to the Head of State Chief Gazovik country, Ukraine’s debt for gas delivered from Russia has reached 2 , $ 4 billion. In October, the Prime Ministers of Russia and Ukraine Vladimir Putin and Yulia Tymoshenko signed a memorandum on gas, which should form the basis for a new agreement between Gazprom and Ukrainian Naftogazom , which addresses the problem and debt. However, the new contract because of the situation in Ukraine has not yet been signed, and since the visit to Moscow Tymoshenko debts Naftogaza to Gazprom , according to Miller, not only decreased but increased . Upon hearing this, the president said Russia : This is a lot of money for any state and any company, including Gazprom , especially in the current difficult situation in the world . He stressed that during the visit by Tymoshenko to Moscow was agreed that the money will be refunded in due course . And then summarized: On the debt of Ukraine should be finalized and recover his or voluntarily or forcibly. Thus, as established by current legislation and in our bilateral relations . Now Gazprom blue fuel supplies to Ukraine at a price of 179.5 dollars per thousand cubic meters. After a meeting in the Kremlin Alexei Miller said that if the transition to the market price of gas for Ukraine in 2009 could exceed 400 dollars per thousand cubic meters that the Ukrainian side is unlikely to ustroit.1 November, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the National Bank of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said that the price of Russian gas to Ukraine in 2009 could amount to 230-250 dollars per thousand cubic meters: onaya has been laid in Ukraine’s budget for next year. Moreover, growth of 179 to 250 dollars has not been a situation of the world oil market and rising gas prices, which Gazprom buys in the Central Asian countries and then re-exported to Ukraine. However, 250 dollars is not satisfied with Gazprom , and around the price again razgoryatsya disputes. But the interesting drugoe.Osnovnoy consumer of Russian gas – a national joint-stock company Naftogaz Ukrainy November 20, through the Ukrainian press advised that nothing should Gazprom . A vice-chairman of the Naftogaza Vladimir Trikolich said: we buy gas from RosUkrEnergo, so we do not have to Gazprom no debt . With regard to debt owed to RosUkrEnergo for gas delivered, he, according to Trikolicha, today, Given all the nuances of 1,26-1,27 billion dollars . Where delsya another billion to tail , is unclear. So the President asked the head of Russia Gazprom understand and to report where the money . Registered in the Swiss company RosUkrEnergo mediated in a complex scheme of supply of Central Asian gas transiting through Ukraine to Russia. In this scheme, Gazprom sells gas trader – RosUkrEnergo. That the Russian-Ukrainian border resells gas company Naftogaz Ukrainy , and the portion of the fuel has absolute daughter Gazprom – the company Gazpromsbyt Ukraine , sells industrial gas consumers in the country. In the gas labyrinth have often disappeared billions summy.V February 2008, Moscow and Kiev have agreed on the abolition of intermediaries and the transition to direct gas deliveries to European prices. But in October it was decided to retain the chain RosUkrEnergo by the end of this year. Therefore, Kiev emphasizes that the requirements for canceling the debts of Moscow should contact the company-mediator. But Russian officials tverdyat of Ukraine’s debt to the Russian Federation.
