Unless new payment arrives over next days
25 February, 18:17
(ANSA) - MOSCA - Gazprom will suspend the supply of natural gas
to Ukraine if further payments do not arrive over the next three
to four days, said the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin,
while underlining that "it is clear that this can represent a
threat to the transit of Russian methane towards Europe".
However, Putin expressed the hope that extreme measures would
not be necessary and that methane supply would not be
interrupted, adding that the outcome depends on Ukraine. On his
part, the CEO of Gazprom, Alexiei Miller, said that Kiev is
still entitled to 219 million of cubic metres of pre-paid gas".
