Portovaya, Leningrad region, September 6 (Interfax) - Ukraine gets gas on a par with prices for consumers in Germany, Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller told reporters.

Gazprom and its German partners jointly own trunk gas pipelines on German territory, among other assets, Miller said.

"There’s nothing like that in Ukraine," he said.

Ukraine gets gas for less than consumers in Poland, Hungary, Turkey and Romania, he said.

"Our Ukrainian colleagues got on a train called ‘Cheap Russian Gas’ and don’t know what station to get off at, they don’t know that they might be heading for a dead end," Miller said.

Commenting on reports that Ukraine is bringing international court action over the gas dispute with Russia, Miller said: "We haven’t seen any documents." Reports have said Ukraine had drafted the paperwork to file a suit with an arbitration court.

Regarding plans to reorganize Naftogaz Ukraine, Miller said: "Ukraine can do what it likes with it, but it is obliged to provide a successor, in keeping with the contract. And all that is in the contract has to be fulfilled right until the end of 2019.

In response to an offer to buy shares in a gas production company that will be spun off from Naftogaz, invitation to he said: "We always look at gas producing assets with great interest."
