The amount of claims of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine against Russia's Gazprom under a gas transit contract totals $8.2 billion, Naftogaz CEO Andrij Kobolev told reporters during a conference at the Adam Smith Institute in Kyiv.
According to Kobolev, the amount has been accumulated for the entire period of the gas transit contract validity signed between Naftogaz and Gazprom (since 2009).
As UNIAN reported earlier, Naftogaz and Gazprom have been engaged in gas disputes since June 2014. Naftogaz substantiated its claims and filed lawsuits with the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce regarding a contract for the supply of gas in January 2015.
Another litigation was started over alleged violation of contractual terms on transiting natural gas through Ukraine.
