Gazprom warns Ukraine and hikes gas price again with $2.2 billion said to be outstanding

摘要

Russia has raised the price Ukraine pays for its gas for the second time this week, meaning that debt-laden Ukraine will now pay $485/Mcm – with $2.2 billion in unpaid gas debt said by Gazprom to now be outstanding. The latest price hike by Russia means that Ukraine will pay approximately 80% more for its gas than what the country was paying before Monday’s price increase – in which Gazprom hiked the price by 44% to $385.5/Mcm. Prior to Monday’s increase, Ukraine had been paying $268.5/Mcm.
