Russia intends to refuse gas intermediaries
The Chairman of the committee of the State Duma on energetic, transport and communications Valeriy Yazov considers that it is time for Russia to refuse intermediaries by gas supply to Ukraine.
“I consider that Russia should supply gas to Ukraine via Gasprom export,” he said at the press conference in Moscow.
Yazen noted that cooperation with RosUkrEnergo as an intermediary company was caused by significant difference of gas prices for supplies to Ukraine.
“But now it is time when Gasprom export should carry out supplies,” he said.
RosUkrEnergo is exclusive supplier of the Russian and Central Asiatic gas to Ukraine. 50% of shares of RosUkrEnergo belong to Gasprom.
