Putin sets final price for negotiated gas with Ukraine
Posted On 11 Jun 2014
Russian President Vladimir Putin said this Wednesday, June 11 to the Ukrainian authorities that the final bid price of gas is $ 385/1,000 m3, and threatened to pass to “another phase” if Kiev rejects it.
“The final price is $ 385 per thousand cubic meters”, after a $ 100 rebate, Putin said at a government meeting, quoted by agencies.
In addition, he said that the proposed terms were “the same” that benefited Ukraine before the dismissal in February of pro-Russian Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich.
“If our proposals are rejected, we will move on to another phase, we have no choice”, said the leader, who accused Ukraine of carrying “to a dead end” negotiations because of their demands.
