Now there are certain approaches to how the Ukrainian side is how this debt problem, our Ukrainian partners are trying to extinguish. Next week they will continue, and I hope that this incident will be exhausted.”

On October 2, Gazprom notified its European partners that it could begin to reduce natural gas supplies to Ukraine if the debt is not settled in October. The concern said that he sent notifications to his European partners about existing gas supplies to Ukraine. The press service of Gazprom emphasizes that the gas price for Ukraine, agreed on the current year, "fully takes into account the level of solvency of the Ukrainian economy."
