Kiev, Gazprom stops Ukraine's indirect gas purchase

Naftogaz, we are not given access codes

06 February, 10:29
(ANSA) - KIEV - Kiev accuses Gazprom of stopping the supply of Russian gas that Ukraine indirectly buys from some European importers through the ''reverse virtual flow'' method. According to director of business development of Ukraine's Naftogaz, Yuri Vitrenko, Russia's gas giant ''refuses to provide'' the Ukrainian state-owned energy company with the access codes that are necessary to receive directly the gas purchased through third countries, which buy the natural gas from Russia. ''We do not accept this situation - the manager said - and we have already filed a suit against Gazprom in Stockholm arbitration court, and we are expecting a decision early next year'' (ANSA).
