Ukraine has asked for 1 billion cubic metres of gas imports from Russia in April, trebling the amount it received in March, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said on Saturday.
On Thursday, Ukraine’s state gas concern Naftogaz and Russia’s Gazprom signed an interim deal for cheaper supplies of gas from Russia for the next three months, providing a breathing space for both sides in their protracted wrangle over pricing.
«Naftogaz has contracted 1 billion cubic metres of gas for April,» Novak said in an interview with the state-run Rossiya television station.
This suggests that Kiev will be getting about 33 million cubic metres of gas per day, while in March the figure stood at around 10 million per day, Novak said in the interview for the news show ‘Vesti on Saturday’ with Sergei Brilyov.
Under the agreement signed on Thursday, Kiev is to pay $248 per 1,000 cubic metres during the April-June quarter.
