Vladimir Putin held an emergency meeting with the permanent members of Russia’s Security Council. The President instructed the government to strictly adhere to its contract obligations concerning gas deliveries to Ukraine.
“I am asking the Russian Federation government to adhere to the contract obligations, and fulfill them to the letter,” the President underscored.
Dmitriy Medvedev, in turn, said that Kiev will have to pay for all deliveries of gas to Ukraine, including the deliveries using alternative routes to the Donbass. If Ukraine will not pay for gas in its entirety, Russia will be forced to make a “complicated decision”.
“Our Ukrainian partners will either pay for everything we deliver, or we, as usual, will have to make a complicated decision,” said the Prime Minister.
A few days ago Ukraine stopped gas deliveries to the Donetsk and Lugansk republics. This caused an emergency situation, and the only gas available for deliveries is in Russia. Therefore, in accordance with government instructions, Gazprom redirected some of the fuel paid for by Ukraine’s Naftogaz to DPR and LPR using a reserve system.
