Gazprom pays Naftogaz $ 2.9 billion

Gazprom paid Naftogaz $ 2.9 billion by decision of the Stockholm arbitration, a representative of the Russian company said.

He clarified that the payment took place on the dates stipulated by the protocol on gas cooperation between the two companies dated December 20.

In December 2017 and February 2018, the Stockholm arbitration court ruled on disputes between Gazprom and Naftogaz on gas supply and transit contracts. The arbitrators set off counterclaims and decided that Gazprom should pay the Ukrainian company $ 2.56 billion. Subsequently, this amount increased due to interest.
