Gazprom has offered Ukraine the same gas contract terms as to Yanukovych, including the discount conditions, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said on Wednesday.
"Gazprom has offered the Ukrainian partners the same terms that the government of Viktor Yanukovych had: a discount for the contract price amounting to $100, and the final price of $385 per a thousand cubic meters," Putin stated at a consultation meeting with the members of the government.
According to Putin, Kiev's demands for lower gas price in exchange for consent to pay deliberately stalemates the situation. The president said that some of Ukraine’s neighbors, including Poland, were getting gas at a higher price, "while the price parameter remains the same, namely, the reduction of the gas export customs tax".
Putin has also instructed the government to develop an option of freezing the terms of gas supplies to Ukraine for a certain period.
"I would like to ask the government and the head of the cabinet to think on how it could be possible at the level of the government of the Russian Federation or upon agreement with the government of Ukraine freeze these terms and make them absolutely guaranteed and free from changes for a certain period," Putin told the ministers.
