Rules igry02-10-2007 Russian gas supplies to former Soviet countries - Ukraine and Belarus have always been favorable. Gas from Russia is always sold in these Slavic states at prices that are 1,5-2 times lower than the world. But always, these supplies were accompanied by challenges - from simple charges before siphoning off transit gas and creating threats to European energy security. Apparently, the mentality of the leadership of the Russian neighbors in a strange way to bifurcate - berating Russia for the sovereign and economically balanced position at the same time meant that Russia is simply "must" provide them with subsidized energy. Nevertheless, well loved in the Ukraine "economic benefits" finally taken into account in Russia - Gazprom demanded strict implementation of commitments on gas supplies, and debt payments, which were quite large. Once again, it happened yesterday, when the official representative of the concern Sergei Kupriyanov said that Gazprom could restrict the supply of gas to Ukraine in case of failure to repay existing debts that have reached $ 1.3 billion announced in the notice to the European partners of Gazprom's Kupriyanov said that "the Russian side fully fulfills its part of the contract."
