President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev banned Gazprom Ukraine to issue another deposit for gas transit. Kiev in response said that the money is not so necessary, announcing the ability to complete the purchase of gas for injection into underground storage. But soon NAK Naftogaz Ukraine to refinance loans for $ 1.5 billion, and Gazprom took advantage of the situation to reiterate their right to fine the company.

yesterday met President Dmitry Medvedev and Gazprom head Alexei Miller. Top manager said that the Ukraine is fully paid for the gas consumed in August, but asked Gazprom to pay in advance the transit of Russia's gas in 2010. Through Ukraine to Europe is transported by 100-120 billion cubic meters of gas per year, representing about 80% of total exports of Russia's gas. But Dmitry Medvedev recalled that Gazprom has already paid in advance the transit of gas in 2009, and in I quarter of 2010, and in fact forbade further advances. We must act in accordance with the agreement that was concluded on January 19 ... no need to invent anything. We also are not the easiest time, - said Mr. Medvedev.

In Naftogaz Ukraine confirm that turned to Gazprom for in advance. How it should be, the companies did not disclose. Last week, Naftogaz reported an increase in transit fees for Russia in 2010 from $ 1.7 to $ 2.7 for pumping thousands of cubic meters per 100 kilometers. As a result, the annual payment, based on the volume of throughput in 2009, was supposed to grow from $ 2.2 billion to $ 3.3 billion

According to unofficial information, Kiev has promised to restrain the growth rates in return for the lack of penalties for arrears of contractual volumes of Russia's gas. But yesterday, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko said that the stake could be worth $ 2,55-3,06. Without any further signings transit price will be, according to various estimates, 50-80% higher than today, - she explained. Premier made it clear that Naftogaz is no longer such a pressing need of money, since the 25.5 billion cubic meters of gas in storage is enough for the transit of gas in the winter. This is a surprising statement since last week, deputy chairman of Gazprom, Valery Golubev told about the plans download in Ukrainian underground storage facilities are 2-2,5 billion cubic meters of gas.

Member of the Committee of the Verkhovna Rada on thermal power station Sergei Tulub believes that yesterday's statement of Dmitry Medvedev and Yulia Tymoshenko evidence of another escalation of gas relations between Russia and Ukraine. Perhaps, suggests a deputy, became the cause of the conflict over the rates for the transit of Russia's gas.

Prime Minister first promised to make a discount on this rate for Russia, but when it became known in Kiev, began to deny everything, explains Mr Tulub. I think that Russia can not only refuse to prepay, but in the end require a performance bond and payment of fines in 2009. But do it before the presidential election would be illogical - it would be struck by the politicians who advocate friendship with Russia, - explained Tulub.
The next round of gas talks should go this week. According to Yulia Tymoshenko, the deputy head of Naftogaz, Igor Didenko lucky to Moscow acts of reconciliation gas sales for August and a request for supplies to Ukraine in 2010, 32 billion cubic meters of Russia's gas. But, stressed Prime Minister, the volume of gas consumption could reach 27 billion cubic meters, and it does not violate the terms of the contract with the Russians. Gazprom in response reminded that the contract with Naftogaz admits receiving requests from the buyer, but does not oblige them to accept a monopoly. The contract for 2010, highlight a monopoly, given the volume of sales Ukraine - 52 billion cubic meters.
