“We see that the main parameters of the agreement - long-term and volume - remain at the current level.
Approximately so much Gazprom is now supplying gas to Hungary.
Another question, what are the price parameters?
In this regard, the Hungarians tried to delay the signing of the agreement until the last, and this did not play into their hands.
This just played into the hands of Gazprom, - said Yushkov.
According to him, if last year Hungary had signed a long-term contract in advance, it would have happened "against a more favorable background."
“When gas prices in Europe were very low (below $ 100 per 1000 cubic meters), and the volume of consumption in Europe decreased ... But Hungary took a different path,” the expert added.
Earlier, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Siyarto, following a meeting with Gazprom head Alexei Miller, said that Russia and Hungary had signed a new agreement on Russian gas supplies.
