Company Naftogaz of Ukraine intends to import into the IV quarter of this year 7.8 billion cubic meters. meters of natural gas. Told the deputy head of Naftohaz Yaroslav Marchuk. In this earlier Russia's Gazprom announced its intention to buy Ukraine in October-December, double the amount of gas - 14 billion cubic meters. m.
This figure was taken from the calculation that in 2009 Ukraine will have to purchase at least 32 billion cubic meters. meters of gas. This condition is stipulated by the contract between Naftogaz and Gazprom, signed in January (the base amount of the purchase of 40 billion cu. M, its revision is permitted within 20%).
It seems that now Naftogaz refused to attempt to fulfill the requirement of the contract. In January-September, the company imported approximately 16.8 billion cubic meters. m. Thus, taking into account the forecast of procurement in the IV quarter of 7.8 billion, the total amount of gas supplied to Ukraine in 2009 will amount to 24-25 billion
Recall that the contract between the companies contracted for the shortage of gas provided for penalties. According to the calculations of the Presidential Secretariat, they could reach $ 5.9 billion
At the same time in September, the prime ministers of Ukraine and Russia have agreed that Naftogaz would pay a penalty for a reduction of purchases of gas. However, officially between Ukrainian company and Gazprom, the rule has not been fixed. Negotiations are continuing, - said Naftogaz spokesman Valentin Zemllyanskiy.

Metallurgical Plants bought 3,2 billion cubic meters. m compared with 6.2 billion cubic meters. m in January-August 2008.

Thus, at the dawn of its independence, our country has burned more than 120 billion cubic meters. m. Then the volume of steel consumption to fall. The previous minimum (in 2007) amounted to 65,9 billion cubic meters. m. Accordingly, the record will be low and the level of imports of gas. During 2004-2008, Ukraine imported 50-60 billion cubic meters. meters of gas. That is twice the country plans to purchase in 2009.
