Pursuant to contract for Russian gas transit, the total amount of legal claims of NJSC “Naftogaz of Ukraine” against “Gazprom” has reached USD 8.2 billion, CEO of Naftogaz Andrii Kobolev said about it, UNIAN reports.
“The total amount of legal claims to “Gazprom” on transit has reached USD 8.2 billion”, Kobolev said.
According to him, this amount was accumulated during the whole period of existence of the contract between Naftogaz and Gazprom on the transit of Russian gas on the territory of Ukraine (starting from 2009).
Today, Naftogaz and Gazprom reportedly are in Stockholm arbitrage on two contracts: for Russian gas transit through Ukraine and for sale and purchase of the Russian gas to Ukraine.
Previously Gazprom accused NJSC “Naftogaz of Ukraine” of “unsanctioned gas subsidence” on the territory of Ukraine.
“Naftogaz” reportedly expects for the decision of the Stockholm arbitrage court on the dispute with Gazprom on the contract of gas purchase until autumn 2016, and on transit contract – in December 2016.
It should be reminded that Naftogaz has been in litigation with Gazprom since June 2014.
