Gazprom is ready to divide supplies among Kiev and Donbass

In the conditions of the settlement which have begun in the Donetsk region, Russia tries to soften the gas dispute with the Ukraine to prevent the stopping of fuel supply. Gazprom has expressed its readiness to separate the issues of supply to Donbass and to Naftogaz Ukrainy, if Kiev makes an advance payment in the near future. The scheme can satisfy the Ukrainian company and the European Commission, which put forward a similar proposal, and at the same time will allow to it to continue the supply ro Donbass. Thus, the situation is developing in Transnistria scenario: Gazprom will supply gas to the Donets and Lugansk People’s Republics actually free, but will score up the debt to Kiev.
