Tymoshenko announced rate hikes for gas transit
The rate of Russia's gas transit through Ukraine from January 1, 2010 will be increased by 65-70 percent, depending on what will be the price of oil.This statement was made by Ukrainian Prime MinisterYulia Tymoshenko, reports the agencyUNIAN.
Thus, Tymoshenko denied appearing before the media reports that the Ukrainian side agreed to lower the rate on the transit of Russia's fuel."In fact, this is for all 18 years will be the first fairly substantial increase," - said Tymoshenko.
In 2009, the rate for gas transit from Russia via Ukraine is 1.7 dollars per thousand cubic meters for every hundred kilometers.
Tymoshenko on Sept. 1 after a meeting in Poland with Russia's Prime MinisterVladimir Putin said that Russia and Ukraine have overcome all the differences in the gas sphere.In particular, the Ukrainian side reported that had the opportunity to pay only for the real consumption of Russia's gas.Then in the media reported that in exchange for the payment of real consumption, Tymoshenko promised to make concessions on tariffs for the transit of fuel, as well as Russia's companies to offer lucrative contracts in the field of nuclear energy.
