Yushchenko’s team doubts Russia has gas

Russia’s behaviour regarding the situation with the gas supply to Ukraine and transit to Europe makes to think that Russia does not have that amount of gas it promised to supply. President’s representative on international energy security issues Bogdan Sokolovski expressed his opinion.

He underlined that Gazprom does not want to sign gas supply and transit contracts without any reasonable explanation, losing 120-150 million dollars daily.

According to Sokolovski, “there is no logic in Russia’s behaviour, and a question arises – may be they just don’t have enough gas, and they are ashamed to tell the world about this…”

 “I’ve come to the conclusion that they don’t have the necessary amount of gas they promised to supply. If I get an answer to the question why Russia agrees to lose money, like 120-150 million dollars daily, I will remove my doubts,” Sokolovski said.
