Naftogaz preparing new lawsuits against Gazprom

Executive Director at Naftogaz of Ukraine Yuriy Vitrenko has said that Naftogaz is preparing for additional lawsuits against Gazprom for USD 17.3 billion.

“My team clearly formulated and presented additional ‘questions’ to Gazprom for the total amount of $17.3 billion and submitted them for approval to the Naftogaz supervisory board,” the statement reads.

Vitrenko previously reported on the following questions to Gazprom:

• the possibility of transferring gas transmission points to the Russia-Ukrainian border under current contracts of European companies;
• the difficulty of exporting gas by independent Russian gas producers;
• the difficulty of transit of Central Asian gas through the territory of the Russian Federation and the losses incurred by Naftogaz from Gazprom’s participation in Rosukrenergo’s debt obligations.
