The Russian company motivates the appeal of “significant procedural violations committed by the arbitrators in making this decision”, writes “Interfax”.

On 1 March it became known that “Gazprom” received money from “Naftogaz Ukraine” in payment for March deliveries of gas, but returned them to the NAC. The Russian company also said that will not supply gas to Ukraine.

“Naftogaz” regarded it as a violation of the December decision of the Stockholm arbitration on the gas supply contract and said that they intend to demand from “Gazprom” compensation.

On 2 March, the head of Board “Gazprom” Alexey Miller said that the company is forced to start the procedure for termination of the contract with NAK “Naftogaz Ukraine” through Stockholm arbitration. He accused the court of “double standards”.
