Arseniy Yatsenyuk: Overall sum of claims against Gazprom exceeds USD 16 bn

NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine has filed to the Stockholm arbitration court a claim to reimburse for the losses and make changes into the transit contract with Gazprom, said Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk on his Facebook page.

"Within half a year after our first sue to the arbitration court concerning the transit contract, leading international experts and lawyers have carried out a considerable amount of work to clearly prove that the transit contract is unfair to Ukraine, thus, over $ 10 billion should be paid to Naftogaz by Gazprom as compensation for the losses," he stressed.

"Therefore, the total amount of our claims against "Gazprom" with regard to the contract on gas purchase and the transit contract has already exceeded $ 16 billion", emphasized the Prime Minister.
