Alexander Medvedev Foreign Quotations

Gas in Ukraine remains above envisaged volumes, which prevents us from fully meeting our obligations to foreign customers.

We have employed an international company that has a clear reputation in qualitative evaluations of foreign trade in order to have independent estimations besides our own documentary proof.

The amount of gas that remains in Ukraine exceeds the originally expected amounts. This does not allo w us to fully comply with our obligations to foreign consumers.

Preserving such a situation would mean encouraging theft on the path of our gas to Europe. Therefore, all our foreign partners are warned that, while we are doing everything possible to keep up our gas exports to Europe, Ukraine would bear all the responsibility for any possible disruption of exports.
