“The victory that is critical and significant for the country - Naftogaz of Ukraine has been compensated a sum worth $ 2.9 billion by Gazprom under the ruling of the Stockholm Arbitration.

It proves the soundness of our strategy - to play honestly, to comply with European rules and to stand firm for the interests of Ukraine,” Oleksiy Honcharuk accentuated.
