You're reading: Miller: Ukraine maybe cutting gas selection concerns Gazprom

Gazprom is concerned by unilateral announcements by the gas giant's partners in Ukraine that the selection of supplied gas might be reduced.

"Gazprom is concerned by those statements made today that Ukraine is getting ready to select significantly less gas than stipulated by contracts," Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said Wednesday during a meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

Miller said that 27 billion cubic meters (bcm) is the figure being bandied about, though an annual 52 bcm of gas is stipulated contractually.

There have as yet from Ukraine been no new proposals to Russia concerning cooperation in the field of gas, as were mentioned during a meeting between the two countries’ presidents.

"At the meeting with the president of Ukraine, where we discussed various cooperation issues and options, not only were some new documents talked about, but as before the issue was major new projects. Has something been done, or is the situation still not moving?" Medvedev asked Miller.

"Nothing appreciably new has happened," Miller responded, adding that that Gazprom’s Ukrainian partners had offered any new proposals.
