Gazprom: Naftogas owed $700 mln for gas shipped to Donbass
For the first time Gazprom include the amount for direct gas supplies to Donbass in the claim against Naftogas.
The net amount of the debt for the sold gas from 2013 Gazprom assessed at $2.85 bln. This amount doesn’t include the fines and penalties but comprises $700 mln for gas shipped directly to Donbass, Interfax reports referring to Gazprom. The total amount of the claim of Gazprom against Naftogas reached $31.7 bln.
Naftogas was reported to collect $50 bln from Gazprom at court. The Stockholm Arbitration Court will study the counter claims of the companies. The proceedings might last for half a year. Gazprom started to ship gas directly to Donbass in February 2015 when Naftogas stopped to ship gas to this area. Kiev refuses to pay for these supplies.
