This was stated by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Vladimir Groisman on the air of Radio NV.

"Gazprom owes us money. To date, after the decision of the Stockholm Arbitration, it is almost $ 8.5 billion: $ 2.5 billion by decision of Stockholm and another $ 6 billion - by a decision of the Ukrainian courts on the suit of the Antimonopoly Committee and the Ministry of Justice, "he said..

"We do not discuss the decision of the Stockholm court. But Russia has once again shown that it neglects international law and refuses yet to implement the arbitration decision, which is absolutely fair, "- added the prime minister.

According to him, in this case there is only one issue - these are the actions of Ukraine today to enforce. This is possible thanks to international procedures.

"Today, Naftogaz and the Ministry of Justice are engaged in this up to the description and arrest of property," concluded Groisman.

Recall that in December 2017, Naftogaz won the Stockholm arbitration against Gazprom under the contract for the supply of gas on virtually all disputable issues. Legal proceedings between the companies began in June 2014.

On February 28, 2018, Naftogaz won the Stockholm Arbitration against Gazprom on most of the contested provisions of the gas transit contract. Arbitration satisfied Naftogaz's claims for compensation for gas volumes that were not supplied by Gazprom for transit. The court ordered Gazprom to pay Naftogaz compensation in the amount of $ 4.

6 billion under this provision.

The final settlement between the companies, taking into account netting, is $ 2.6 billion in favor of Naftogaz.

In addition, on March 13, the Kyiv Economic Court of Appeals denied Gazprom a complaint against the fine of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine at UAH 171 billion imposed on the Russian company. The Ukrainian department fined Gazprom in 2015 for violating the legislation on the protection of economic competition.
