The price gap, on which Gazprom remains silent, may be the solution which the two sides found to the Russian claims for repayment of debt arrears for 2008 -- the issue which triggered the conflict two months ago. Gazprom refuses to provide an account of debts owed by Naftogas, or released by Gazprom this week. According to Smith of Alfa, "by our prices, Gazprom should realize some $7.3bn from Ukraine in 2009, but by Naftogaz's numbers Gazprom will get $10.1bn, a nice $2.8bn gap. Finally, we note that the full-year weighted average announced price of $228/1,000 cubic meters is 20% off European prices only if one doesn't back out transit costs, which one should. In conclusion, by Naftogaz's announced numbers it appears that Gazprom is actually receiving near European prices for its gas."
