Kiev offers to repay Gazprom gas debts ‘in 10 days’ if discount price granted ― RT Business

Ukraine will pay back its staggering debts for Russian gas in just 10 days’ time – but only if Gazprom agrees to bring back the price agreed with ousted President Viktor Yanukovich for 2014, Ukraine’s coup-imposed PM said in his EU address.

“The Ukrainian side offers OJSC Gazprom to sign an additional agreement, which sets the price for natural gas for the year 2014 to the amount of $268.5 per 1000 cubic meters, as was defined in the first quarter of 2014. After signing this agreement, Ukraine offers to settle the existing debts to the Russian side within 10 days,” Arseny Yatsenyuk, said in a statement on Tuesday. The statement was addressed to the leaders of the European Commission and the European Union.
