The first hearing on the gas dispute between Ukraine and Russia (Stockholm)

 Ukraine relies on the decision of the Stockholm arbitration in early 2016.

The first hearing in the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (Sweden) on the gas dispute between Russia and Ukraine.

This was stated by Chairman of the Board of "Naftogaz of Ukraine" Andrew Kobolev on the air "Channel 5".

"Our party has filed a final action, final wording. We expect appropriate action on the part of Russia. It has been the first hearing, and I think that somewhere in the beginning of next year we have a very good chance to get a final decision," - said Kobolev. He appreciates the chance to win the Ukrainian side to the Stockholm arbitration.

Recall, June 16, 2014 "Gazprom" asked the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce with a request for arbitration in order to recover from the "Naftogaz" unpaid debts for natural gas and interest on this debt totaling more than $ 4.5 billion.


On the same day, "Naftogaz" turned to the Arbitration Institute of the requirements of the retroactive change in natural gas prices, reimbursement of overpayments carried them from May 20, 2011 in an amount not less than $ 6 billion. And the abolition of contract provisions prohibiting implementation supplied by it natural gas outside of Ukraine.
