Anton Gerashchenko:.
"All this is a great victory for the team of Andrey Kobolev and Ukraine in general. Achieving the implementation of the court decision in this part will not be easy. But if Gazprom does not implement the decision of international arbitration, then Naftogaz will force it to do this through the arrest of its numerous assets located abroad. In general, we can say with confidence that today Ukraine has won a crushing victory on the energy front of the Russian hybrid aggression against our country. We finally learned to defend Ukraine's rights in the International Courts! It's only the beginning! ".
Irina Gerashchenko:.
"Naftogaz" won from "Gazprom". The Stockholm arbitration admitted that the gas agreement with the Russian Federation in 2009, which was concluded with Putin by the then prime minister, was enslaving for Ukraine. And it cost Ukraine dearly politically and economically. We bought gas at non-European prices, we were forced to buy such volumes of gas that we simply did not need, we were not allowed to resell this gas. And the annual humiliating approval by Kiev of less-than-binding conditions with Moscow was bypassed by the surrender of Ukraine's national interests. The Kharkov agreements and the surrender of the Crimea are from this chain, because then the prolongation of the stay of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine was also the price for a discount for gas. And when they say, and what is so important, apart from the "unnecessary" visa-free regime, the current government has done for Ukraine, then I want to emphasize: today we are energetically independent from Moscow. And this is really the achievement of the president, the government, diplomats, the leadership of "Naftogaz". Today is a big day, without exaggeration.
Roman Shrike:.
"The details of the details, but it is already clear that the reparation. The ugly principle of "take or pay" goes to hell! And with it, and the claims of Gazprom to 47 billion dollars. A really big victory. I propose to declare May 31 the Day of Energy Independence ".
Bacho Korchilava:.
"Naftogaz won from Gazprom in Stockholm Arbitration. I think this is great news ".
Taras Berezovets:.
"Stockholm arbitration court decided in favor of Naftogaz. Gazprom lost. And this for all its possibilities, in t. Extrajudicial. You can congratulate Andrei Kobolev and the whole team of Naftogaz. A beautiful breakdown, damn it ".
Yuriy Romanenko:.
"The Stockholm court has satisfied the claim of" Naftogaz "about revision of agreements. The formula of Gazprom "take or pay" is recognized as inadequate.
Now Ukraine can re-export gas. Good news. Now would gas still increase production ".
5 6 As reported by the Observer, the Stockholm tribunal satisfied the demand of Naftogaz of Ukraine about the price revision in the contract for gas supply with Gazprom taking into account the market conditions. Ahead of the parties is the procedure for calculating mutual claims, as well as the decision on the transit contract.
