“Risk No. 1, that the whole story with the desire of the Russians to come to an agreement is a screen for the salvation of Nord Stream 2.” We have never seen such liveliness in the diplomatic, lobbying and business circles on this project in Washington. And we saw a lot, ”- said in a message on Facebook.
According to the company, “there is no better guarantee” that the Russian side will adhere to the terms of the transit agreements than “the absence of Nord Stream 2”.
Earlier, Naftogaz’s executive director, Yuri Vitrenko, stated the great risk in the transit agreement. According to him, the risk lies in the possibility of withdrawing claims against Gazprom.
According to Vitrenko, a situation may occur when Russia stops the transit of gas, and Ukrainian claims are already withdrawn.
On December 21, Moscow and Kiev signed a protocol of gas transit agreements.
As noted in Gazprom, he assumes that the parties, among other things, will sign an agreement on the settlement of mutual claims and withdraw claims.
At the same time, the Russian company will pay about $ 2.9 billion according to the decisions of the Stockholm Arbitration Court, and Kiev will withdraw the claim for $ 7.4 billion.
