Poroshenko non-carbonated
Petro Poroshenko quotes ITAR-TASS:
A few days before Poroshenko's statements, another representative of the Ukrainian "authority", Finance Minister Shlapak, said that Ukraine would pay its debts only if Russia returned to the "previous" price of $268,5 per thousand cubic meters.
So far, Russia is leaving this version of Ukrainian blackmail without an official response, realizing that today the approaching summer and the funeral of Ukrainian industry that have already begun are playing into the hands of Kyiv. Moscow can well afford to wait for the first frosts in Ukraine, if Poroshenko remains as “president” until then.
Andrey Klepach, Deputy Head of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, spoke about the statements of the Ukrainian side:
Ukraine has gas in storage, but it works for the stability of supplies to Europe. So they can steal up to 9 billion or more, for some time this will allow them to hold out.
