Европейската комисия, Русия и Украйна отново не успяха да се споразумеят за цената за доставките на руски газ. Въпреки това те ще продължат контактите помежду си до понеделник, когато "Газпром" заплашва да спре доставките за Украйна. Еврокомисарят по енергетиката Гюнтер Йотингер, който посредничи при прговорите, съобщи, че Комисията е изготвила документ за постигнатия напредък и рамка за преговори, с които да се определи цената на газа за цяла година. Йотингер увери, че през следващите 48 часа преговорите между трите страни ще продължат по телефона. Не е договорена следваща среща, а от понеделник "Газпром" ще въведе предплата за газовите доставки за Украйна, ако дотогава не бъдат разплатени безспорните задължения на Киев. Руският президент Владимир Путин, цитиран от ИТАР-ТАСС, подчерта, че Украйна трябва да приеме предложението на "Газпром за отстъпка от договорната цена от 100 долара и крайна цена от 385 долара за 1000 куб. м, което беше отхвърлено по-рано днес от Киев.

Putin, Merkel discuss Ukraine’s gas debt As was reported earlier by the spokeswoman of the EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger, Sabine Berger tripartite talks on gas will resume in Brussels on Wednesday morning. It was assumed that negotiators would meet on Tuesday evening. However, according to Berger, the meeting was postponed for "technical reasons": as the Russian delegation will return to Brussels lately. Russia, Gazprom officials head to Brussels for Ukraine talks Officials from the Russian Energy Ministry and state-controlled natural gas exporter Gazprom were heading to Brussels on Tuesday to continue talks aimed at resolving a gas price dispute with Ukraine, a ministry spokeswoman said. "We are flying out for the evening talks," the spokeswoman told Reuters. EU, Russia and Ukraine negotiations: parties do not agree on their positions Fifth round of between the EU, Russia and Ukraine tripartite negotiations ends, but the parties do not agree on their positions. Today next round of negotiations to take place. This is stated by EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger. Ukrainian and Russian partners should discuss with their governments and heads of state this question and say when they are willing to discuss the situation, European Commissioner said. "This to be decided on Tuesday afternoon," he says. "We had long talks this evening and during the night, and we are continuing negotiations. We discussed a lot of questions about gas prices on existing contracts, market, neighboring countries, and the current situation. All sides agree that it is necessary to avoid negative development of the situation. We still have open questions and different positions, but we have agreed to continue negotiations," cites ITAR-TASS Oettinger. European Commissioner added that the Ukrainian and Russian partners should discuss with their governments and heads of state this question and say that they are willing to discuss the situation at 21:00 on Tuesday or Wednesday at 09:00 CET. "This will be decided on Tuesday afternoon," he said. According to Energy Minister Alexander Novak, for the first time the price on gas for June, July and August was discussed during the meeting. He reiterated the position that Ukraine has until June 10 to pay off debt for gas for November-December 2013 in the amount of 1.451 billion dollars and 500 million dollars for April-May 2014. Energy Minister added that during today's talks they have also discussed the reliability of gas transit to Europe and its injection into underground gas storage. Verkhovna Rada’s appointed Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Yuriy Prodan, in return, said that "Gazprom" has offered Ukraine a discount on gas on the basis of reduction of customs duties. "Progress was not made. Sides didn’t change their positions from June 2," he said. Thus, according to Prodan, "Gazprom" is ready to reduce the price of gas for Ukraine to $385 per thousand cubic meters, as the export tax is about $100. After Crimea became part of Russia, the price for 1 thousand cubic meters for Ukraine exceeded $485. Previously EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger called 350-380 dollars per thousand cubic meters a fair price for Ukraine. Kiev continues to insist on a price of 268.5 dollars per one thousand cubic meters. The undisputed portion of the debt of Ukraine for November-December 2013 as on Monday June 9 was 1.454 billion in US dollars. Moscow is waiting for repayment of the debt. But Prodan has reiterated once again that the repayment of the debt will only be made after the adoption of an acceptable price for Ukraine. Russia may cut gas supplies to Europe in case of reversed deliveries to Ukraine - Putin Russia is ready to reduce its gas supplies to Europe in the event of unlawful reverse gas flow deals with Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday. "If we see that anyone [in Europe] is violating our gas supply contracts, then we will reduce the amounts [of gas], and then the de-facto quantity of gas on the European market will simply not be sufficient," the Russian president said, highlighting the high risk of non-payment (by Ukraine) as the second problem. Last month, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia had no complaints against Slovakia in regard to preparing to reverse gas deliveries back to Ukraine saying, "The way Slovak governing bodies are dealing with it does not violate any agreements with "Gazprom" or the Russian government" Currently Kiev owes Russia about $1.5 billion for November-December deliveries which sold at the old price of $268 per 1,000 cubic meters. Russia has not received any payments for April-May deliveries at the current price of $485 per 1,000 cubic meters estimated at $3 billion. Kiev has recently paid Gazprom $786.4 million for gas deliveries in February and March, which, according to Ukrainian Energy Minister Yuriy Prodan, constituted the only undisputed arrears.
