Ukrainian government meets to discuss gas dispute with Russia

(16 Jun 2014) Ukraine's prime minister said on Monday that Russia's cutting of gas supplies to Ukraine was part of "a prepared plan that started with the annexation of Crimea". The decision came as a payment deadline passed and negotiators failed to reach a deal on gas prices and unpaid bills amid continued fighting in eastern Ukraine. Gazprom has tolerated late payments but now says Ukraine owes a total of 4.458 (b) billion US dollars for gas from last year and this year. They announced on Monday that they are suing Ukraine's state energy company Naftogaz in an international court for the 4.5 (b) billion. Naftogaz said it has also filed a suit against Gazprom, seeking a "fair and market-based price" for gas, as well as a repayment of 6 (b) billion US dollars for what it said were overpayments for gas from 2010.
