Ukraine PM Tymoshenko has disproved the statements of Gazprom CEO that her country would be unable to pay for Russian gas supplies.
Ukraine’s Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has dispelled fears that her country won’t be able to pay for December Russian natural gas supplies.
Speaking at a briefing on Saturday, Tymoshenko has stated that the concerns over Ukraine’s ability to pay for Russian gas raised Friday by Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller were unfounded.
Tymoshenko has stressed the fact that Russian officials made similar statements before the end of each month when Ukrainian monthly payments for Russian gas supplies were due hinting at possibilities of a repetition of the January 2010 gas crisis, which left much of Europe, including Bulgaria, without gas in the middle of the winter.
